Event Summary

India — Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar held a series of breakfast meetings, including one on December 2, 2025, at D. K. Shivakumar's residence, to address an ongoing power struggle within the India — Indian National Congress party in India — Karnataka.

Both leaders have publicly reaffirmed their commitment to good governance and unity, stating they will abide by the decision of the India — Indian National Congress high command.
