Karnataka Power Tussle: Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar Hold Second Breakfast Meet Amid 2.5-Year Pact

In this special report, India Today Senior Editor Nagarjun Dwarakanath analyses the intensifying power struggle within the Karnataka Congress as the government completes 2.5 years. Following a second 'breakfast meeting' between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar on December 2, Nagarjun explains the strategic timeline pressures facing Shivakumar. He notes that with the winter session in Belagavi starting December 8, followed by the budget session and state elections in 2026, Shivakumar 'doesn't want to waste even one single day' to claim the top post. The report also highlights the 'OBC factor' as a major hurdle, with Nagarjun questioning how the party can replace an OBC leader like Siddaramaiah while Rahul Gandhi champions OBC empowerment nationally. The discussion reveals that while a power-sharing agreement may have been made, Rahul Gandhi was reportedly 'not present' when the pact was sealed.
