will-dks-take-over-as-karnataka-cm-from-siddaramaiah-speculations-rife-as-both-leaders-head-to-delhi
After Kerala, now the Congress is witnessing a power tussle in Karnataka as the government completes three years. Both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar reached Delhi on Monday to meet the Congress top brass. This comes days after both the Congress leaders met the party high command during Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan's swearing-in. Satheesan himself was locked in a race to the top job in Kerala with AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal and veteran Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala. Reports suggest that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, Randeep Singh Surjewala and Venugopal will meet both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar together and separately. However, Siddaramaiah maintained that he was unaware fo the agenda of the Tuesday meeting. I'm invited to Delhi. Tomorrow there is a meeting by 11 am. I don't know the subject. But, I'm invited, he said. Though some reports earlier suggested a cabinet reshuffle and upcoming elections to four Rajya Sabha seats in Karnataka, it is highly likely that Shivakumar will be given the CM's post. But how the Congress top leadership convinces Siddaramaiah to give up the post remains to be seen. Ever since the Congress came to power in 2023, Shivakumar's supporters have been seeking his appointment as CM in line with a previously agreed power-sharing formula with Siddaramaiah. On November 20, when the Congress government completed its halfway mark, Shivakumar's supporters camped in Delhi to seek CM post for their leader. Back then, Kharge said that the high command would give the medicine when required. People in the high command Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and I will sit together and deliberate on this... We will give the medicine when required, he said. Siddaramaiah has asserted that he will complete the full term of five years as chief minister. However, both leaders also maintained that they will abide by the Congress high command's decision.
tamil-nadu-election-aiadmk-tvk-shift-vijay
The 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections were not just another defeat for the AIADMK. But it shattered a monolithic legend which shook the very soul of the party. And the post-poll landscape is no longer about regaining powerit has turned into a chaotic, fragmented fight for survival. The once disciplined AIADMK has not split into many factions but seems to be negotiating the partys dissolution in exchange for political relevance. TVK is the new AIADMK. Anyone from the AIADMK who wants to walk out of the AIADMK are welcome to the TVK, said PWD and sports development minister Aadhav Arjuna who is considered to be the second in command in Vijays TVK. Arjuna extended an open invitation to the rebelling MLAs as three of the AIADMK MLAs joined the TVK after officially resigned as legislators from the assembly. The three MLAs S. Jayakumar from Perundurai, K. Maragatham Kumaravel from Madurantakam (SC), and P. Sathyabama from Dharapuram (SC) submitted their resignation with speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar. The new defections are a breather for the C. Joseph Vijay-led TVK government, which assumed power with the support of coalition partners CPI, CPI(M), VCK, Congress and IUML. While the Congress, VCK and the IUML have secured cabinet positions, the CPI and the CPI(M) have chosen to stay away from the cabinet and has extended outside support. But with the AIADMK legislators moving to the TVK, the ruling party seems to have executed a swift transition from coalition model to acquisition model. Originally reliant on a diverse bloc, the TVK leadership has recognised that a fledgling party cannot sustain long-term stability while tethered to the whims of post-poll allies. The strategic focus seems to have shifted toward securing a solo majority of 118 seats in the 234-member House. To circumvent the legal entanglements of the 10th schedule, the TVK has pioneered a clean route of attrition: resignation followed by re-election. The new arithmetic model bypasses lengthy court battles over disqualification and allows the TVK to frame the transition as a moral re-mandating by the voters. The efficiency of this model was demonstrated by the exit of the three key AIADMK legislators. Crucially, these defectors were members of the S.P. Velumani faction, indicating a targeted hollowing out of the AIADMKs Western belt and organisational strongholds. The transition was clinical: resigning at the Speakers office on the ground floor and, within minutes, ascending to the first floor to receive TVK party membership from minister Aadhav Arjuna, calling on the chief minister at his chamber and later going all the way to the TVK headquarters at Panaiyur. Incidentally, the TVKs targeting strategy is highly sophisticated, focusing on vulnerable legislators on two fronts: one is the social marginalisation by bringing in Dalit legislators like Maragatham Kumaravel and Sathyabama, who felt structurally isolated within the AIADMKs traditional hierarchy and two the Leema Rose-Aadhav Arjuna network. Aadhav Arjuna who is the son-in-law of Santiago Martin and Leema Rose is said to be the money bag that provides the necessary financial infrastructure to sustain these candidates through the by-election process. The combination of this social arithmetic and financial backing creates a gravitational pull that the fractured AIADMK leadership is currently unable to counter. Sources in the AIADMK say the network has ensured that the legislators from their party are being constantly wooed by promise of re-election through a bypoll and also lucrative portfolios. The AIADMK is currently navigating an existential crisis of organisational identity that transcends simple electoral disappointment. Following significant setbacks at the polls, the party has entered a state of strategic paralysis, characterised by a vertical fracture between the official wing under EPS and a robust rebel faction. This is not merely a personality clash but a fundamental breakdown of institutional cohesion. The current environment has devolved into a high stakes race against time, says one of the legislators who is clueless about the developments in the party and now part of the EPS faction. He says the leadership is now attempting for an internal rescue operation to prevent further haemorrhaging by the ruling TVK, which is aggressively moving to fill the political vacuum. Tamil Nadus political culture, which previously considered immune to the rampant defections, is witnessing a new era. While EPS has characterised the TVKs moves as vulgar politics and a pre-meditated drama, DMK leader M.K. Stalin has attacked the TVK for moving from coalition management to bargaining, describing the pace of acquisitions as horse trading at horse speed.
