BENGALURU: The ongoing cold war between state Congress president DK Shivakumar and opposition leader Siddaramaiah to establish their supremacy with an eye on the chief minister’s post is threatening to dent the party’s prospects in the 2023 assembly elections.
The dissent was more evident after the Mysuru mayoral elections where the Congress joined hands with the JD(S) despite Siddaramaiah’s disapproval. Shivakumar is learnt to have struck a deal with former CM HD Kumaraswamy through former minister Tanveer Sait. Siddaramaiah wanted the Congress to be neutral after JD(S) refused to give the mayor’s post as per the agreement.
