Siddaramaiah's rection comes amid speculation regarding a possible change in Karnataka leadership, after Congress MLA H. A. Iqbal Hussain suggested that Shivakumar might assume the chief ministership within the coming months.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday reiterated the stability of the Congress-led state government, assuring the public that the administration will remain as "solid as a rock" for the entirety of its five-year term. Addressing reporters in Mysuru on Monday, Siddaramaiah emphasised he is on good terms with Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar, dispelling rumors of discord within the party’s leadership.
"This government will stand as solid as a rock for five years," Siddaramaiah stated, referencing the local term "bande" (rock) and highlighting unity by raising Shivakumar’s hand during the press interaction. He further dismissed claims of internal strife, noting, "We are on good terms," and asserted that external attempts to create division would not affect their cooperation. "We don’t listen to what others say." Shivakumar nodded in agreement.
