Siddaramaiah May Be Close to Becoming Chief Minister of Karnataka

The Quint  

Siddaramaiah’s advantage has been that he is recognised as a mass leader, accepted by most sections of Karnataka’s population. In DK Shivakumar’s defence, party leaders said that he has been one of the strongest Congress leaders of Karnataka ever since he took over the reins of KPCC in 2020 and has helped turn around the party's fortunes. Shivakumar is credited with having the support of many first time MLAs who got elected on 13 May, when the Congress swept Karnataka polls winning 135 seats. An experienced hand is required to set the house in order.” Earlier in the day on 15 May, there were indications that the balance may tip in Siddaramaiah’s favour, as the 75-year-old flew to Delhi to meet AICC leaders. Siddaramaiah’s biggest strength this election, when the results came out, was that the Ahinda or Dalit, Bahujan, and Minority votes swung in favour of the Congress.
