In a dramatic turn of events, BJP leader Basangouda Patil Yatnal accuses Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of plotting to overthrow Chief Minister Siddharamaiah. Yatnal alleges that Shivakumar has sought the support of an influential Lingayat seer to sway Lingayat legislators within the Congress party in his favor.
With purported plans to assume the role of CM post Lok Sabha election results, Yatnal claims to possess insider knowledge of the unfolding political machinations. These allegations inject fresh uncertainty into Karnataka’s political landscape, highlighting ongoing power struggles and factional tensions within the state’s political elite.
