Will the Siddaramaiah-Shivakumar bonhomie last in the Karnataka Congress?

The Hindu  

The success of the mega birthday event of the Leader of the Opposition in the State Legislative Assembly, Siddaramaiah, seems to have, at least for now, convinced the warring factions in the Congress to bury their differences. To drive home the point of collective leadership, Mr. Gandhi showered praises on Mr. Siddaramaiah’s five-year governance as well as Mr. Shivakumar’s organisational skills. Mr. Gandhi, who attended the first meeting of the KPCC’s political affairs committee in Hubballi just ahead of the big event, sent out a clear message to the leaders that public utterances on the party’s internal matters and leadership issues would not be tolerated. In a move to win back the support of the dominant Veerashaiva-Lingayat community, Mr. Gandhi received ‘Ishta Linga Deekshe’ from Shivamurthy Murugha Sharana, pontiff of the Mutt, and evinced interest in learning Basavanna’s teachings. The Kurubas have a good presence across the State, except in the coastal region, and Mr. Siddaramaiah is banking on the AHINDA communities to swing the fortunes in the Congress’s favour in 2023.
