Karnataka 'nataka' not over yet? Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar head to Delhi as Congress weighs next moves
A day after annoucing that he would step down as chief miniter to pave way for Shivakumar in accordance with the rotational formula agreed upon after the 2023 win, Siddaramaiah expressed his desire to stay in Benglauru than move to Rajya Sabha which was part of an offer pitched by the party high command.
Siddaramaiah's move to "partly agree" with the top brass, while holding his ground on not moving to the Rajdhaani for national politics largely suggest that the deveopment may mutate to become a complex quagmire.
