The Story in Brief
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar arrived in Delhi on Tuesday, sparking talk of portfolio rejig talks within the state Congress government. According to the chief minister’s travel schedule shared with the media, Shivakumar is set to meet senior Supreme Court advocates at Karnataka Bhavan during his visit. NDTV reports that the trip has intensified speculation about his next portfolio, with insiders pointing to a possible shift in key departments.
The meeting with senior lawyers has added to the buzz, though no official word has come from either Shivakumar or the party. The visit comes amid ongoing factional tensions in the Karnataka Congress and ahead of the winter session of the state legislature.
The Indian Opinion
The buzz around Shivakumar’s meeting with senior advocates may be read as a power play for bigger home or revenue portfolios, but it could just as easily be routine legal work for pending state cases. The Congress, already bruised by internal feuds, cannot afford another round of public bargaining. The concrete test: will Karnataka’s chief minister or the party clarify whether the advocates’ meeting is linked to portfolio allocation or entirely separate?
