Bengaluru: Siddaramaiah will be the new Chief Minister of Karnataka, while Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President D.K. Shivakumar Deputy CM Kya Hoga Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar were in the race for the Chief Minister post after the Karnataka assembly election results on May 13, but this morning the Congress ‘hyman’ announced Siddaramaiah’s name for the Chief Minister post. of the State

It is to be noted that from Monday Siddaramaiah reached New Delhi to meet Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Tuesday d. K. Shivakumar also reached Delhi. It is said that it was Rahul Gandhi who persuaded Shivakumar not to create unnecessary controversy. He is said to have revealed, ‘He is Siddaramaiah Sr after all. He was the chief minister once. He also has experience.

Giving this information, the sources further said that Rahul Gandhi has said the most important thing that the upheaval of the party in Karnataka will affect the party at the time of 2024 Lok Sabha elections. So in this phase you hold the post of Deputy Chief Minister, you will also be given important accounts and important ministries will be given to your supporters. However, some confusion persisted. The dispute was finally resolved through a secret ballot, in which MLAs voted overwhelmingly in favor of Siddaramaiah.

If we look at the issues in favor of Siddaramaiah – (1) The high command asked the party MLAs to hold a secret ballot to confirm the name of the Chief Minister, in which majority of the MLAs voted in favor of Siddaramaiah. This is a big relief for the Congress as it eyes the 2024 elections. (2) Siddaramaiah has many followers in Karnataka. He is a prominent member of the dominant Kurba caste of Karnataka. Although they are somewhat strict in nature, they are also very popular among the masses. (3) He has been MLA nine times. He was also the Chief Minister from 2013 to ’18. He has also presented the state budget 13 times. His political experience is also vast. (4) They are also known to oversee governance and administration (civil service). All the statistics of his department are at his fingertips. Hence his account IAS officers also appreciate him. After examining the files, they decide on it. He has a strong hold on the administrative system.

Thus Riddaramaiah was once again made the Chief Minister of the state and D.K. By persuading Shivakumar to become the Deputy Chief Minister, the Congress high command (Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra) has saved the party’s image ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on the one hand, and enhanced it on the other. Observers say Karnataka is also tarnishing its image by adopting a strategy similar to that of Rajasthan.
