'Congress High Command Compelled To Think Of Other Alternatives': BJP's Bommai On K'taka CM Drama

In this Special Report, the focus is on the intensifying political drama in Karnataka ahead of the Belagavi Assembly session. Former Chief Minister and BJP MP Basavaraj Bommai has stirred speculation by claiming that a 'dark horse might emerge in the state' as the next Chief Minister, alleging that both CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar have an 'egoistic attitude' and refuse to budge. Meanwhile, Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka has slammed the Congress leadership, stating that the 'Congress high command is very weak'. Despite the opposition's claims and threats of a no-confidence motion, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has dismissed rumours of internal discord, asserting, 'We go together. There are no differences between me and D.K.S. Kumar.' The report details the escalating war of words between the ruling Congress and the BJP-JDS alliance.
