Siddaramaiah out, Shivakumar in. But is Congress' Karnataka dilemma really over?
Synopsis: After more than two years of speculation, Congress has finally set in motion a leadership transition in Karnataka. Siddaramaiah has stepped down, paving the way for D K Shivakumar to take over as chief minister. While the succession battle appears settled, questions remain over cabinet formation, Siddaramaiah's future role and the balance of power within the party. As Congress navigates the next phase of the transition, the key challenge will be managing competing power centres while keeping the government stable ahead of the 2028 assembly elections.
