Fresh speculation over a leadership change in Karnataka intensified on Tuesday after sources close to Deputy CM D K Shivakumar claimed that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been asked by the Congress leadership to step down.
According to sources, Siddaramaiah may resign sooner than expected but has sought some time from the party leadership before making a move. The development comes shortly after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reportedly held a one-on-one meeting with the Karnataka Chief Minister earlier in the day.
The Congress has not officially commented on the claims so far.
