Supporters of Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar offered 1,001 coconuts to make him the state’s CM. This comes amid speculation of a change in chief ministership when the government reaches its halfway mark in November, citing an alleged 2023 power-sharing pact between CM Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. Last week, 10 MLAs backing Shivakumar met Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge.
