Follow live updates on Karnataka leadership change buzz here.The rumours were fueled afresh on Tuesday as Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar arrived in Delhi and met top Congress leadership in the city. Sharing an update on what transpired in the meeting, Parameshwara told the media: “No one knows what was discussed inside. We have no information yet.”‘Confusion to be cleared tomorrow’The Congress leader also said that Karnataka Congress in-charge Randeep Surjewala is on his way to Bengaluru and would be clearing up the “confusion” tomorrow. "We still don't know about the internal discussions. We only know what KC Venugopal said. That's all I have to say," Parameshwara told reporters.The minister was referring to remarks by Venugopal on Tuesday, in which he said the meeting focused on entirely on the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and council elections of Karnataka.Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation, no reality at all. Today we discussed the Rajya Sabha seats and the council seats of Karnataka,” Venugopal told the media, with Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar on his side.However, people privy to the matter told HT that the leadership was convincing Siddaramaiah to step away from the CM post, in exchange for a Rajya Sabha membership and a cabinet berth for his son Yathindra.There is no official clarification from Congress on what is going in Karnataka, and who would replace Siddaramaiah if he quits the CM post.Siddaramaiah ‘pushed’ to quit post?As stated in an earlier HT report, the Congress high command seems to be pushing Siddaramaiah to step aside but he was weighing his options. Siddaramaiah is reluctant to hand over his post to his deputy DK Shivakumar, but was told by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge that the decision of who would assume the role was not the chief minister's to make.Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah has invited DK Shivakumar for a breakfast meeting on May 28, in a rerun of the politics that unfolded in November 2025 when a similar leadership change buzz had emerged. The development was confirmed by Parameshwar in his interaction with reporters today. He also said he would be meeting Siddaramaiah this afternoon.
