Kharge Passes the Buck, Fueling Speculation

The speculation surrounding Siddaramaiah’s position gained momentum after Kharge’s ambiguous response to questions about a potential leadership change. While he didn’t confirm the rumors, his refusal to deny them has fueled discussions about the possibility of Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar taking the reins.
