Karnataka politics LIVE: CM Siddaramaiah hosts breakfast for cabinet colleagues

Published by Parlour News

A change of guard in the three-year-old Karnataka government seems imminent, with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seeking the Governor’s appointment, a day after he was apparently asked by the party high command to make way for his deputy D.K. Shivakumar’s elevation to the top post, but said he will speak on the matter today. As the political heat rises in the southern state in anticipation of a new CM, AICC General Secretary in charge of Karnataka, Randeep Singh Surjewala, clarified that the Congress has not called for a meeting of its legislature party in the state and that no other decision has been taken yet. He requested the media not to speculate on the issue. Mr. Surjewala, who arrived in Bengaluru on Wednesday, also met Siddaramaiah and other senior leaders. -PTI Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

At the Congress’ convention, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah attacks BJP and PM Narendra Modi

Published by Parlour News

Blaming the Centre for being directly responsible for the increase in prices of petroleum products in the country and NEET examination paper leak, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday (May 19, 2026) accused the BJP of dividing the society and country by driving a wedge between Hindus and Muslims. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi held on to the tail of (US President Donald) Trump to move around and he also spoke of Trump administration returning. When the US and Israel attacked Iran, Mr. Modi did not express anguish. He is directly responsible for the price rise.
