Congress leader Siddaramaiah confirmed Thursday morning that he will resign as Chief Minister of Karnataka, bringing the curtain down on a three-year leadership dispute with his deputy DK Shivakumar that has, at times, sidelined and even threatened to derail the party's government. He also confirmed Shivakumar will succeed him. "Congress high command proposed DKS as the next chief minister… I have agreed to this," he said at a breakfast meeting with senior members of his government, including the chief minister-elect, at his Bengaluru residence.
Separately, the party's state unit also published a 'together we are united' post on X, a public show of togetherness to counter inevitable criticism from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. Photos of the two leaders hugging and sitting together were accompanied by the message: "That day, this day, forever… unity is our strength! Public service is our eternal commitment."
