Siddaramaiah Appointed to CWC

Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah has been appointed a member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the party’s highest decision-making body.

The move came on Tuesday, a day after his son and Congress MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah expressed confidence that he would be included in the new cabinet.

Following a meeting with Shivakumar on May 31, Yathindra had said he expected to secure a ministerial berth and claimed that the party leadership had assured him of a place in the government.

Congress Leadership Holds Detailed Deliberations

During the discussions, both Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.

The two Karnataka leaders also held separate consultations with Congress general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal and the party’s Karnataka in-charge Randeep Surjewala.

The meetings focused on cabinet formation and the political roadmap for the state following the leadership change.
