Congress High Command Reviews Karnataka Leadership And Cabinet Reshuffle
Karnataka Leadership Meeting Gains Attention
The Karnataka Congress leadership issue has again become a major political talking point as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar travelled to Delhi for meetings with the party high command. The talks come after the Congress government completed three years in office on May 20, 2026, increasing speculation over Siddaramaiah’s tenure and a possible Cabinet reshuffle.
Siddaramaiah Tenure Decision In Focus
According to party sources, the Delhi meeting may help clear the air on the leadership question. Siddaramaiah is expected to highlight his government’s performance, including welfare guarantee schemes, development work, and recent bypoll victories. However, the Congress high command is also looking at internal concerns, governance impact, and the party’s preparations for the 2028 Assembly elections.
DK Shivakumar CM Speculation Continues
DK Shivakumar’s visit to Delhi has added to the speculation about the CM, as he is widely seen as a key contender if the party considers a leadership change. The high command is also expected to discuss Karnataka Congress reshuffle plans, Rajya Sabha poll strategy, and the political risks of removing Siddaramaiah, who remains an important OBC face in the state. A final decision is expected to depend on the party leadership’s assessment.
