Just two days after the two get together in the wake of a raging power tussle in Karnataka, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is scheduled to visit his deputy DK Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast on Tuesday.

Shivakumar on Monday confirmed that his breakfast meet with Siddaramaiah at the CM residence was to discuss and strengthen their collective efforts to deliver the promises made to Karnataka by the Congress party.

Showcasing a united front amid rift speculations, Shivakumar took to X and wrote, “The CM and I continue to work together as a team. I have invited the Hon’ble Chief Minister for breakfast tomorrow to discuss and strengthen our collective efforts to deliver on our promises to Karnataka."

In a similar breakfast meet held two days ago, Shivakumar visited the Chief Minister’s residence in an attempt to break the logjam over the leadership row involving the two leaders. The meeting was convened by Siddaramaiah at the behest of the Congress high command.

Following the Saturday meet, both leaders had publicly stated that “there won’t be any confusion" and that “they are both working together". Meanwhile, both leaders maintained that on the leadership issue, they would obey the high command’s decision.

The development signalled towards Siddaramaiah’s continuation as the Chief Minister for the second half of the tenure, which, according to report,s was set to be handed over to Shivakumar.

Shivakumar had earlier said, “We met under your the pressure of media (on November 29). There was no need for it." Alleging that the media is alleging groupism, the Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister said, “You are creating groups, DK group, Siddaramaiah group and others."

Asserting that he is not in any group, Shivakumar added, “I have 140 people (MLAs) with me."

Shivakumar’s brother and former Congress MP DK Suresh, who was in Delhi, reportedly came to Bengaluru on Monday to meet the Congress high command leaders. Speaking to the reporters, Suresh said he was not willing to share details of the travel, adding, “It was a personal visit."

Suresh emphasised that everything is happening smoothly. “Breakfast meetings are taking place. Tomorrow there is also a breakfast meeting. So everything will come to a stage," he was quoted as saying.

The power tussle within Congress had intensified amid speculation about a change in Chief Minister in the state after the government reached the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20.
