Major Political Shift in Karnataka: Chief Minister Resigns

Significant Changes in Karnataka Politics

A substantial political transformation is unfolding in Karnataka today. Reports indicate that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has instructed his ministers to resign from their positions immediately. Following this, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is widely expected to take over as the new Chief Minister.

A crucial meeting took place at Siddaramaiah's residence in Bengaluru during breakfast on Thursday morning. An unusual moment occurred when D.K. Shivakumar touched the feet of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, intensifying discussions about a potential leadership change in the state.

Although the Governor of the state, Thawar Chand Gehlot, is currently out of Bengaluru, sources suggest that the resignation process will proceed as planned. Meanwhile, a large crowd of supporters has gathered outside D.K. Shivakumar's residence, celebrating by distributing sweets and chanting slogans in joy. On the other hand, senior Congress leaders and ministers are engaged in ongoing meetings.
