PoliticsPhoto: Prabhat KhabarSmooth Power Transfer in Congress from Siddaramaiah to Chennithala
On May 28, 2026, Siddaramaiah resigned as Karnataka Chief Minister following the high command's directive, enabling D.K. Shivakumar's appointment. Senior leaders like K.C. Venugopal, Ramesh Chennithala, and Raja Warring also sacrificed ambitions for party unity. Rahul Gandhi's strategy faced no opposition, as seen in Punjab where Pargat Singh replaced Raja Warring as Congress state president on October 2, 2026, without major protests despite existing factionalism.
