They met at the CM&#8217;s residence, Cauvery in Bengaluru.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar invited him for lunch first, after which the chief minister instead insisted on breakfast at his place.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show of unity &#8211; Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-DK Shivakumar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The press conference after the &#8216;breakfast&#8217; meeting was a display of unity, aimed at showing that they remain aligned under the Congress high command. It should be noted that the breakfast meeting was convened by Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah following instructions from the Congress high command. This came after AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal directed the senior leaders to hold discussions aimed at resolving their differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decision left to Congress High Command?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The press conference showed the two leaders trying hard to downplay their power tussle. \u201cWe sat down to discuss it. We aim to win the corporation, gram panchayat, and the 2028 election,\u201d Shivakumar said. Notably, the term \u2018high command\u2019 dominated the presser, signalling that the dispute has now been placed before the party leadership.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is understood that the tussle between the state party\u2019s power centres remains unresolved, even after the much-publicised \u2018breakfast\u2019 meeting. It is also worth noting that after demonstrating his strength in the Assembly elections, D.K. Shivakumar was given an assurance of the Chief Minister\u2019s post after 2.5 years. With both senior leaders holding their ground, the matter now rests with the Congress high command \u2014 and whichever way it rules, the decision is likely to trigger internal unrest within the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakfast Diplomacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar\u2019s breakfast diplomacy, the Congress high command is closely watching the ongoing tussle within the Karnataka unit over the CM\u2019s post. The power centre is unhappy with the \u201cwar of words\u201d on social media, the leadership has issued a firm warning to both Siddaramaiah and D.K. Shivakumar. The two leaders met over breakfast this morning, even as a late-night gathering of MLAs from the Shivakumar camp had already heightened tensions within the party. The High Command has categorically stated that both parties should resolve the matter together and then come to Delhi. The High Command will make the final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karnataka Power Tussle: When Siddaramaiah says &#8216;We only had Breakfast&#8217; \u2013 Decision left to High Command?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2934,"featured_media":677292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","short_title":"","seo-keywords":"Siddaramaiah,DK Shivakumar,Karnataka power tussle, Karnataka leadership crisis,Karnataka Congress infighting,Siddaramaiah DKS breakfast meet,karnataka power tussle,karnataka congress crisis","news-seo-keywords":"Siddaramaiah,DK Shivakumar,Karnataka power tussle, Karnataka leadership crisis,Karnataka Congress infighting,Siddaramaiah DKS breakfast meet,karnataka power tussle,karnataka congress crisis","author-reported-field":"2934","author-review-field":null,"article-sources-field":"","byline_field":"","survey_poll":"","ai_generated_summary":"","faq-group":{"faq-question_1":"","faq-description_1":"","faq-question_2":"","faq-description_2":"","faq-question_3":"","faq-description_3":"","faq-question_4":"","faq-description_4":"","faq-question_5":"","faq-description_5":""}},"categories":[19354,130],"tags":[293],"class_list":["post-677248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bengaluru","category-india","tag-karnataka"],"recipe-group":{"preparation_time":"","total_cooking_time":"","recipe_yield":"","recipe_cuisine":"","recipe_rating_value":"","recipe_servingsize":"","recipe_calories":"","recipe_ingredients":"","recipe_instructions_head_1":"","recipe-instructions_1":"","recipe_instructions_head_2":"","recipe-instructions_2":"","recipe_instructions_head_3":"","recipe-instructions_3":"","recipe_instructions_head_4":"","recipe-instructions_4":"","recipe_instructions_head_5":"","recipe-instructions_5":"","recipe_instructions_head_6":"","recipe-instructions_6":""},"embed-url-group":{"embed-url":"","embed-duration":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Karnataka Power Tussle: When Siddaramaiah says &#039;We only had Breakfast&#039; \u2013 Decision left to High Command?
