In Karnataka, internal tensions within the Congress party are escalating as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar engage in a 'cold war' over potential leadership changes. A recent meeting between PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi and Shivakumar has led to speculation regarding the possible revocation of MLC K. Abdul Jabbar's suspension from the party. This comes after disciplinary measures were taken against several Muslim leaders, accused of anti-party activities during the Davanagere South Assembly bypoll.
