With the controversy around the chief minister’s post and power-sharing in Karnataka getting murkier by the day, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who has been staking claim for the top post for the past few weeks, spilt the beans on Wednesday with a cryptic message which appeared like a veiled dig at the Congress high command who will take the final decision with regard to the matter.advertisement”Word power is World Power. The biggest force in the world is to keep one’s word,” the message seemed directed at the party top brass, who, according to his supporters, had reached a power-sharing pact in May 2023, when Siddaramaiah rose to the chair after a similar tussle post the Congress’s win in the Assembly elections.”Be it a judge, president or anyone else, including myself, everyone has to walk the talk. Word power is world power. Those standing at the back don’t know the value of the chair. What value and significance the chair holds,” Shivakumar added.Notably, sources in the DK Shivakumar camp and ministers aligned with him told India Today that Siddaramaiah had committed to stepping aside halfway through the government’s term, a deadline that is now fast approaching.”Instead of pulling a vacant chair and sitting, they are standing. While all senior leaders are seated, they are standing by refusing to sit. You won’t get any chair, you will be left behind”.However, what the deputy CM meant by “vacant chair,” was not immediately clear, since Siddaramaiah has refused to budge and said that he will remain the chief minister for the rest of the Assembly’s term.According to sources in the Shivakumar camp, the power-sharing deal was sealed on May 18, 2023, after prolonged discussions involving Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, KC Venugopal, Randeep Surjewala and MP DK Suresh, Shivakumar’s brother.Shivakumar had initially sought the first 2.5 years in office, but Siddaramaiah refused, citing seniority.The eventual compromise gave Siddaramaiah the first half of the term, with Shivakumar slated to take over later.Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with India Today, Basavaraj Rayareddy — Siddaramaiah’s financial advisor and a senior voice in the CM’s camp — pushed back against pressure from Delhi, even as Shivakumar-aligned MLAs gathered in the capital to demand a change in leadership.In the candid interview, Rayareddy asserted that Siddaramaiah would not step aside unless the party high command gave a compelling reason.All eyes are now on the Congress high command. With deadlines closing in, pressure mounting from both factions, and MLAs holding firm, the call on the 2.5-year power-sharing pact will decide whether Karnataka sees a smooth transition—or plunges into its most turbulent phase yet.- Ends in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
