BREAKING NEWS: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Announces Resignation Amid Leadership Transition Buzz

A major political development has emerged from Karnataka after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah reportedly announced his resignation during a breakfast meeting with state ministers. According to sources, the Chief Minister informed his cabinet colleagues that the Congress high command has asked him to step down from the post and transition towards a role in national politics. The announcement was made during a high-level breakfast meeting held in Bengaluru, where Siddaramaiah is said to have communicated the leadership decision to his ministers. He reportedly stated that he would submit his resignation to the Governor at around 3 PM, followed by a press conference before formally stepping down. Sources indicate that the decision follows internal discussions within the Congress leadership regarding a planned political restructuring in the state. The development has triggered immediate political reactions, with speculation growing that Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar is set to take over as the next Chief Minister of Karnataka. According to reports, Siddaramaiah also mentioned that he has been advised by the party leadership to take up responsibilities in national politics. However, official confirmation from the Congress party or the Governor’s office is still awaited. The political atmosphere in Bengaluru has become highly charged following the news, with party workers and leaders closely monitoring the situation. Security and administrative preparations are reportedly being reviewed ahead of any formal announcement. If confirmed, this would mark a significant leadership transition in Karnataka politics, reshaping the power structure within the ruling Congress government.
