Basavaraj Bommai

Karnataka's political landscape has been defined by frequent instability since 1956, with only three Chief Ministers completing full five-year terms. The state has witnessed numerous resignations, coalition collapses, and leadership changes, often triggered by internal party dissent, defections, and corruption allegations.

Replacing Siddaramaiah with DK Shivakumar as Karnataka CM could challenge Congress's core Ahinda support base. Siddaramaiah's strong connect with minorities, backward classes, and Dalits is crucial for the party's social arithmetic. Shivakumar, while a strong organizer, lacks Siddaramaiah's deep emotional and social reach, potentially alienating key voter segments ahead of the 2028 elections.

Ahead of Karnataka's bypolls, a Congress victory could fuel factionalism. Siddaramaiah's supporters, leading campaigns, may seek organizational changes and back Satish Jarkiholi for state president. Meanwhile, DK Shivakumar's camp anticipates credit for any wins, potentially renewing calls for leadership shifts. First-time MLAs also demand a cabinet rejig.
