Chief Minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiaha and Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar rejected speculation on the change in the leadership of the state and claimed that there was no discussion about the change.
“How many times do I tell you that this (speculation around Karnataka cm Post) was not discussed at all? This problem was not discussed at all with high command,” said Mr. Siddaramaiaha on Friday (July 11, 2025).
Mr. Siddramaiah, who is in Delhi, met with the President of the Mallikarjun Kharge congress, along with other leaders of leaders on Thursday, July 10, and caused speculation about a possible change of cm in the carnation.
When Mr. Siddaramaiah, he informed about the meeting of Congress’s leaders with Mr. Kharge, in which he mentioned that “some important questions” were discussed.
“In Delhi, the leaders of AICC and AICC leaders met with Mallikarjun Kharge in their residence and have been discussing several important questions.”
It’s not good to talk again and again: Shivakumar
Mr Shivakumar said that the answer that siddaramaiaha would remain cm, already given and “not good to talk again and again”
“The answer has already been provided (from CM Siddaramaiaha and Karnataka, charged with Surjewala). When the answer has been provided, it is not good to speak again and again and again and again asking the same is not right. Said Mr. Shivakumar.
At the request of Mlas, that he should replace Mr. Siddaramaiaha as cm, Mr. Shivakumar said: “Some will be an aspiration statement that it could be you, but now there is no need to comment.”
Meanwhile, the leader of BJP Rachna Reddy said that the main command of the congress should be clarified by representatives of Karnataka cm DK Shivakumar, whether he fulfills his “promise” or “show the door”.
“The command of the congress should certainly clarify, not for all, then certainly Mr. DK Shivakumar, that he will be shown the door and that he will not fulfill the promise he gave him, which forced him to become a representative of the main minister,” Rachna Reddy said.
Previously, Karnataka Congress Congress Con-Chare Randep Singh Surjewal organized one meeting with the MLA Congress, which caused speculation over the party that handed over the leadership of DK Shivakumar.
However, Mr. Siddarahaiah explained to reporters that Mr. Surjewala clearly stated that the purpose of meeting the MLA in the state is not a question of changing the main ministers.
“The State Congress responsible rejected the question of changing the main minister, saying that there is no room for speculation about this issue. These speculations are created by the media and there was no discussion on the change of the main minister in the congress circle.”
“The chief minister and representative of the main minister issued a clear instruction that the decision of the Supreme Command on this issue should be agreed, and we both said many times that we follow the decision of the high command. It is natural that the question of power should occur when the government was in power for two and a half years.
