BENGALURU NEW DELHI As tensions escalate within the Karnataka Congress, some political watchers interpret Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar’s journey to Delhi as a “smokescreen,” a move that signals strength while real decisions simmer behind closed doors.
Shivakumar, accompanied by a group of MLAs loyal to him, headed to the national capital just as speculation swirls around a possible leadership transition. Karnataka The underlying claim by his supporters: a 2023 agreement that would rotate the Chief Minister’s post halfway through the term.
Shivakumar said he’s “not in a hurry” and reiterated that decisions rest with the party high command.
Political analysts suggest the Delhi trip isn’t just about immediate demands — it’s also a strategic signal to the leadership in New Delhi and to rival factions within the state. By showing numbers (MLAs) and positioning loyalists early, Shivakumar may be building leverage ahead of any formal high-command
