Siddaramaiah's Dinner Excludes DK Shivakumar, Fuels Karnataka Power Tussle
- •CM Siddaramaiah hosted a dinner meeting with close ministers and MLAs at Satish Jarkiholi's residence in Belagavi.
- •Deputy CM DK Shivakumar was notably absent from the dinner, sparking fresh speculation about the ongoing power struggle.
- •Shivakumar downplayed his absence, stating, "Let them meet, I am happy," while Siddaramaiah's aides called it an informal gathering.
- •The meeting occurred amidst BJP's 'outgoing CM' narrative and discussions about a potential power-sharing agreement from 2023.
- •This incident follows previous "breakfast politics" interventions by the high command, which seemingly failed to resolve the leadership dispute.
Why It Matters: Siddaramaiah's dinner without Shivakumar reignites Karnataka's leadership battle despite unity efforts.
