Amid the ongoing leadership issues in Karnataka, the Congress high command is
expected to decide soon whether there will be any change in the chief minister
before the Parliament session begins on December 1. During this tense political
situation, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has finally responded to Deputy Chief
Minister DK Shivakumar after a week of Shivakumar trying to contact him.
Party sources say that Shivakumar had been repeatedly trying to talk to Rahul
Gandhi about the political situation and internal problems in the party. However,
Gandhi had not responded until now. On Tuesday, he sent a brief WhatsApp message
He replied to Shivakumar saying, “Please wait, I will call you.”
The message shows that the party leadership is aware of the ongoing issues but is
choosing to take its time before making a final decision. This has created
suspense within the Karnataka Congress, as leaders and supporters are waiting
to see whether Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will continue or if a leadership
change is coming.
