Political Tensions Rise in Karnataka
Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has made significant revelations about the internal conflicts within the state's Congress party, indicating that the political landscape is experiencing growing instability. According to Bommai, the rift within the Congress party began immediately when Siddaramaiah assumed power and has been widening ever since.
The Origin of Congress Internal Conflict
Bommai stated that the internal conflict within the Congress party started the very day Siddaramaiah came to power. This statement, made on November 24, 2025, suggests that the current political tensions have deep roots in the leadership structure of the ruling party.
The former CM emphasized that Siddaramaiah's rebellious nature from his political past continues to influence his current governance style. "Siddaramaiah will not relinquish power if he is still the rebel he once was," Bommai remarked, highlighting concerns about the Chief Minister's approach to leadership and power sharing within the party.
Escalating Political Situation
Bommai revealed that what began as initial disagreements has now evolved into a more significant divide. The rift has noticeably widened in recent times, creating uncertainty about the stability of the current government. The political veteran adopted a cautious approach to the situation, stating "Let us wait and watch" when discussing the potential outcomes of these internal conflicts.
The timing of these revelations is particularly significant, coming at a crucial juncture in Karnataka's political calendar. Political analysts are closely monitoring the situation, as internal party conflicts could have substantial implications for governance and future electoral prospects.
Bommai's comments suggest that the power dynamics within the Congress party are undergoing significant changes, with potential consequences for both party unity and government stability. The situation continues to develop, with political observers awaiting further developments in what appears to be an escalating internal struggle within the ruling party.
