Six MLAs urge Mallikarjun Kharge to make D K Shivakumar Karnataka CM
Six Congress MLAs from Karnataka met party president Mallikarjun Kharge in Delhi to express their support for Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and to request that he be considered for the chief minister’s post. Their visit comes amid growing internal discussions about leadership adjustments within the state government. The lawmakers reportedly highlighted Shivakumar’s organisational skills, his strong base in the party, and his role in strengthening Congress during recent elections. They also conveyed concerns about regional balance and the need to address political expectations among supporters in Karnataka. While the meeting has triggered speculation about possible changes in the state’s top leadership, senior Congress leaders have not confirmed any immediate decisions. The discussions are being viewed as part of ongoing consultations within the party to manage internal demands and maintain unity. The outcome now depends on further deliberations by the high command.
