CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Karnataka: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has finally put an end to the ongoing speculation regarding his ambition to become the next Chief Minister of Karnataka. Addressing the media, he stated firmly, “The answer has already been provided,” signaling his commitment to the current leadership and party discipline. His comment comes amid repeated questions about potential leadership change and perceived internal rivalry within the Congress party in Karnataka.

Shivakumar’s response indicates a strong message of unity and stability within the state government, especially as the Congress focuses on development and governance. His statement is seen as an effort to shut down rumors and media narratives suggesting a power tussle with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

The Congress high command has also remained silent on any leadership reshuffle, reinforcing that there is no immediate plan for change. By dismissing the speculation, Shivakumar has aimed to shift focus back to policy, performance, and public welfare, rather than political ambition.

This development is expected to calm political tensions within the state unit and assure citizens of continuity in governance.
