Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah said Congress high-command should end speculations around change in leadership in state. There were speculations of change in chief ministership when government reaches half-way mark in November, citing an alleged power-sharing pact between Siddaramaiah and deputy CM Shivakumar in 2023. Last week, 10 MLAs supporting Shivakumar met Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.
