Karnataka's political landscape is abuzz with rumors of a cabinet reshuffle as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah hosted a dinner meeting for his ministers. The timing coincides with the midway point of the Congress government's five-year term.
While ministers downplayed any reshuffle talks, merely calling it a 'casual dinner,' sources suggest that a reshuffle may assert Siddaramaiah's leadership as the state approaches a significant milestone.
