Even as the Congress officially declared that Siddaramaiah will continue to be the chief minister of Karnataka, multiple reports citing sources revealed that he will step down later this week and make way for D.K. Shivakumar to take over the top post in the state. What will Siddaramaiah get in return? Sources have claimed that Siddaramaiah has been offered a Rajya Sabha berth and asked to play a national role from Delhi. His son Yathindra Siddaramaiah is likely to be deputy chief minister. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah is yet give nod to the high command's proposal and sought more time to decide on the issue. Minister loyal to Siddaramaiah and his close aides have reportedly asked him to weigh in all his options before deciding on resigning as CM. The reports come after a day-long discussions between the Congress high command and the state top brass. AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal said the party discussed only the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and vacant MLC seats. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation. No reality at all, said Venugopal denying reports of Siddaramaiah stepping down. He was addressing the media while flanked by Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. The candidates of Rajya Sabha and Council seats of Karnataka will be announced along with the other seats like Chhattisgarh, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, like these states. That's all, he said. The nominations for the Rajya Sabha elections have to be filed by June 8. If Shivakumar becomes chief minister, it will put an end to years-long power tussle in the Karnataka Congress unit as his supporters have been claiming that the top job was promised to their leader during the 2023 assembly elections. In November, when the Congress government completed its halfway mark, Shivakumar's supporters camped in Delhi to seek the chief minister's post for their leader. However, Siddaramiah asserted that he wanted to complete the full five-year term as CM. Amid uncertainty in the state leadership, Leader of Opposition in Karnataka assembly R. Ashoka on Tuesday said the power struggle between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar had pushed the government into a coma stage. The CM had said that Ministers will have to tour districts once in 15 days, but the CM himself is not following it. No one is touring their district to address public grievances, everyone is on a Delhi tour... It was said that grievance redressal meetings are not being held. Everyone is on a Delhi tour, Ashoka said.

The Congress high command on Tuesday put an end to speculations of a likely May revolution in Karnataka government, saying Siddaramaiah will continue to be chief minister. Adressing media outside Indira Bhawan in the presence of Siddaramaiah and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal said there was no truth to the speculation about change in Karnataka chief minister. Whatever speculation you people are doing, that is only speculation. No reality at all, said Venugopal. He clarified that the Congress top leaders' meeting with Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar focused on the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and Karnataka MLC seats. The candidates of Rajya Sabha and Council seats of Karnataka will be announced along with the other seats like Chhattisgarh, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, like these states. That's all, he added. 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. 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.

bengaluru-to-receive-rainfall-until-friday-coastal-karnataka-to-get-relief-from-heat
Bengaluru is set to get a respite from the intense heat, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Karnataka's capital city will experience rain until May 29, Friday. As a precaution, a yellow alert has been issued for Bengaluru throughout the week. Light to moderate rain accompanied by thunder and lightning is expected across the city throughout the coming week, the IMD confirmed on Sunday. The weather office credited a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal for the sudden change in weather conditions. This cyclonic circulation has created favourable conditions for widespread and continuous rainfall in Bengaluru, IMD officials reportedly said. On Monday, Bengaluru is expected to experience cloudy skies from the afternoon hours, with strong winds blowing at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h in some areas. The maximum and minimum temperatures in Bengaluru are likely to be around 32C and 22C respectively, TV9 Kannada said in a report. The maximum temperature, which had earlier averaged around 34C, has now dropped below 30C in many places, the report added. Karnataka weather news Apart from Bengaluru, yellow alerts have also been issued until May 29 for most districts in North Interior Karnataka, Coastal Karnataka, and South Interior Karnataka by the IMD. In addition, a northsouth trough extending from southern Bihar through Jharkhand and Odisha to the north coast of Andhra Pradesh has also contributed to the weather changes. However, several states grappled with scorching heat on Sunday, with Brahmapuri in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra emerging as the hottest place in the country at 47.2 degrees Celsius. Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.6 degrees Celsius, 3.4 notches above the seasonal average.

India today is seen as a rising global power. It is one of the worlds fastest-growing major economies, a digital leader, a space power, a strong military nation, and an increasingly important player in global politics. Highways are expanding, airports are increasing, metro rail networks are changing cities, and the vision of becoming a developed country by 2047 is shaping national discussions. Even though all these achievements are visible, one harsh reality still remains millions of Indians do not trust the water coming from their taps. Most people still prefer bottled water, water purifiers, or boiling water before drinking it. This lack of trust shows that an important part of our countrys development journey is still unfinished. The day every citizen, as well as every tourist visiting India, can confidently drink water directly from a tap at home, a railway station, school, hotel, airport, office, or roadside public place without fear of illness, that will be the day India can truly call itself a fully developed nation. Safe tap water is not just a basic service. It is a sign of good governance, strong public health systems, environmental responsibility, and civic discipline. Civilisations have always grown around water. From the Indus Valley civilization to the banks of the Nile and the Tigris-Euphrates, access to clean water determined the survival and prosperity of societies. Even today, developed countries such as Germany, Australia, the United States, and much of Europe take immense pride in the fact that their citizens can drink water directly from the tap. In cities such as Berlin, public fountains and household taps symbolise public trust in governance and infrastructure. However, despite our rapid transformation, individual and society development are still far from that stage. To be fair, the government has made major achievements in expanding access to drinking water, and these efforts deserve recognition. Since the launch of the Jal Jeevan Mission in 2019, tap water connections in rural India have increased at a very fast pace. According to official figures, only around 3.23 crore rural households had tap water connections in August 2019. By March 2026, this number had reportedly crossed 15.82 crore households. The Union Budget for 202627 has allocated more than 67,000 crore for the mission, which has now been extended till 2028. This is no small achievement. Villages in remote regions of Ladakh, Sikkim, Jharkhand and Gujarat are now receiving piped water connections that were unimaginable a decade ago. Women no longer have to walk several kilometres carrying pots of water. Schools and anganwadis now have better access to drinking water. Local participation through village committees and womens groups has strengthened rural water governance in many regions. The government is right to celebrate these achievements. But there is a difference between water reaching a household and water being safe enough to drink directly from the tap. That remains the biggest challenge. India continues to face a severe water quality crisis. According to the Central Pollution Control Board, more than 70% of Indias surface water is unsafe for direct consumption. Hundreds of river stretches remain polluted due to untreated sewage, industrial waste, agricultural runoff and poor urban planning. Groundwater contamination from arsenic, fluoride and nitrates still continues to affect several states despite the government taking several checks. India is home to some of the worlds largest rivers, receives substantial monsoon rainfall, cleanest water from the foothills of Himalayas, and has invested massively in dams, pipelines and treatment systems. Yet ordinary citizens rarely trust the water flowing from their taps. Instead, our country has quietly built a parallel economy around unsafe drinking water. Nearly every household today uses a purifier, reverse osmosis system, or boils water before drinking it. Restaurants routinely serve filtered or bottled water instead of direct municipal supply. Offices install expensive filtration plants. Travellers buy packaged water bottles at railway stations, airports and roadside shops. The bottled water industry and domestic water purifier market are booming precisely because public confidence in tap water remains weak. This is perhaps the most honest fact-check of Indias drinking water reality. If Indias tap water were genuinely safe, millions of households would not feel compelled to spend additional money every month filtering water that has already supposedly been treated by civic authorities. The problem is not merely infrastructure. It is also governance, monitoring, enforcement and public behaviour. Our country already has strong legal frameworks. The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974 and the Environment Protection Act of 1986 empower authorities to regulate pollution and water quality. The National Water Policy speaks about integrated water management and conservation. Missions such as Namami Gange Programme and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation have sought to improve water infrastructure and urban sanitation. However, the implementation of many water and sanitation programmes still remains uneven across the country. Untreated sewage continues to flow into rivers. Lakes and ponds are disappearing because of encroachments and unchecked construction. Plastic waste blocks drains and pollutes water ecosystems. In many cities, damaged and leaking pipelines allow sewage water to mix with drinking water supplies. Water testing and monitoring systems are still weak, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. The government alone cannot solve this challenge unless citizens also change their habits and behaviour. A developed nation is not built only through government spending and big infrastructure projects; it is also built through public responsibility and civic discipline. Clean surroundings and safe drinking water are closely connected. Throwing garbage into drains, dumping waste into rivers, polluting lakes, and ignoring sanitation rules all lead to water contamination. Many people demand world-class facilities but continue practices that harm the environment. At the same time, there are positive examples that prove India can achieve global standards in safe drinking water. Odisha has emerged as a leading example through its Drink From Tap mission implemented by the Water Corporation of Odisha. Cities like Puri and Bhubaneswar have shown that round-the-clock safe tap water supply is possible in India when technology, efficient governance, and public trust work together. By using real-time monitoring systems, SCADA technology, GIS-based mapping, strict water quality checks, and transparent communication with people, Odisha has shown that Indian cities do not need to depend on bottled water forever. The success of cities like Puri and Bhubaneswar proves that safe tap water for everyone is possible in India. This model should now be expanded to other parts of the country. But providing safe drinking water to every Indian will require much bigger efforts. India needs major investment in sewage treatment plants, recycling of wastewater, cleaning of rivers, protection of groundwater, and better city planning. Water quality checking systems should work in real time and the information should be easily available to the public. Local authorities must be held responsible whenever drinking water gets contaminated. Schools should also teach water conservation and sanitation as basic civic responsibilities, not only as environmental subjects. Most importantly, India must rebuild public trust in its water systems. In developed countries, people drink tap water because they trust public institutions and water quality systems. In India, that trust is still weak because failures happen too often and without warning. Restoring this confidence may be the countrys biggest challenge. Indias ambitions are very large. The country aims to become a 10-trillion-dollar economy, a global manufacturing hub, a major tourism destination, and a developed nation by 2047. But development cannot be measured only through GDP growth, highways, airports, or skyscrapers. Real development must also be reflected in everyday life. There are many ifs that can be the measuring marks. Can a child safely drink water from a school tap? Can a tourist fill a water bottle at a railway station without worrying about falling sick? Can ordinary families stop spending large sums on water filters and bottled water? Can Indias rivers become clean and healthy again? When the answer to all these questions becomes yes across the country, India will not only appear developed, it will truly feel like a developed nation. Safe drinking water from every tap is not a luxury. It is one of the most basic signs of a civilised society. Surinder Singh Oberoi, National Editor Greater Kashmir
