In Karnataka, the speculation surrounding a change in the chief minister's position has been firmly denied by state IT Minister Priyank Kharge. He pointed the finger at a 'crisis-hit' BJP, alleging that the opposition party is using these rumors to divert attention from their own internal disarray.
Amidst conjecture of a brewing power struggle, Kharge reiterated that the Congress, both at the state and central level, have consistently stated that Chief Minister K Siddaramaiah remains in office, putting to rest any assumptions about a possible leadership transition.
Furthermore, he criticized the BJP, branding them as leaderless and chaotic, with internal strife evident in their assembly behavior. Kharge insisted that these speculations are merely tactics by the BJP to camouflage their issues.
