US EditionCongress Top Brass Stares at Tough Testafter Siddaramaiah-Shivakumar Truce
Opposition claims the truce between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar is superficial after months of infighting, highlighting challenges for Congress leadership amid a disputed power-sharing deal.
- On Saturday, the opposition BJP and JD questioned the truce as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah resists relinquishing his post while Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar says he was promised it for two and a half years.
- Claims of a six-person witness list underpin the rivalry as D K Shivakumar says the power-sharing deal, including chief ministership rotation, was agreed before six people, while opponents say the Congress high command failed to assert authority.
- Critics characterised the event as a performative 'truce meeting'; R Ashoka mocked it as a `Breakfast Meeting` and said Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar blamed the media without genuine unity.
- The event drew pointed scepticism from opposition and regional figures as Chalavadi Narayanaswamy dismissed the meeting, saying `After the tussle, their relation broke`, and H D Kumaraswamy warned leaders not to hoodwink people.
- H D Kumaraswamy told reporters, `Breakfast Meeting` questioned whether the truce can heal months of friction, reflecting public skepticism and doubts about its sincerity.
