Karnataka’s ruling Congress party leaders are scheduled to hold another breakfast meeting on May 28, focusing on the party’s next leadership steps. Multiple reports say Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will convene the meeting with Cabinet colleagues, with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar among those invited. The gathering comes amid ongoing political discussion within the party about a possible change at the top as the Congress government moves deeper into its five-year term, which began in 2023 and reaches the midpoint in November 2025. According to reports, Siddaramaiah is expected to tender his resignation on May 28, which would create space for Shivakumar to take over as chief minister if the party’s leadership and legislative process follow through. While the reports describe a likely sequence of resignation and leadership transition, they also frame the developments as part of internal deliberations rather than confirming final decisions publicly. The meeting is therefore being watched closely as a potential marker of how the party intends to manage leadership arrangements in the state.
