In 'D.K. Shivakumar', Rasheed Kidwai charts the rise of the Karnataka chief minister from the villages of Kanakapura to the highest offices of state power.
Siddaramaiah has announced he will not contest the state’s 2028 assembly elections. He has made similar announcements in the past, notably ahead of the 2023 assembly elections.
Karnataka CM Shivakumar Sunday proposed to amend existing protocols, allowing people’s representatives from Karnataka to participate in the ‘Nithya Aarthi’ at Tirupati.
On his first day as CM, he also said a secretary will be appointed to look into public grievances and that officials have been instructed to work on creating an NRI Secretariat.
The first list of ministers shows an overwhelming influence of Siddaramaiah, suggesting that the 77-year-old retains significant power despite losing his position.
Congress leader DK Shivakumar is patient, transactional, fiercely loyal, administratively ambitious, and unafraid of power. Is Karnataka ready for the most complete expression yet of his method?
