Amid the ongoing political tussle over leadership and the post of Chief Minister in Karnataka, CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar met for the second time on Tuesday (December 2, 2025) over breakfast. The breakfast meeting of two powerful leaders of the state is being called Power Breakfast. Under normal circumstances this meeting might have seemed normal, but this time the matter was quite different.
This time, the two Congress leaders, who have been feuding over the post of Chief Minister since the 2023 assembly elections, met over idli, desi-style chicken curry and coffee and discussed their disputes. Although the outcome of this meeting is still uncertain, especially because Siddaramaiah insisted on telling during this meeting that both the leaders had discussed about the assembly session to be held next week, but Siddaramaiah indicated that he is ready to leave the post of Chief Minister if the party high command asks him.
Whatever decision the high command takes, we will accept it – Siddaramaiah
He said, “We will both accept the decision of the party high command, especially when it is that of Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and party president Mallikarjun Kharge.” According to NDTV report, both the leaders may get a call from Delhi on Monday next week (December 8, 2025), where they will meet the core leadership of the Congress party including Rahul Gandhi. The plan for this is that after the adjournment of the Assembly, both the Congress leaders will leave for Delhi from Belagavi.
There is no difference of opinion in the party – Shivkumar
Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said after meeting Siddaramaiah, “There is no difference in the party, we are one voice in the Congress. Today I invited the CM for breakfast at my residence. We reiterated our commitment towards good governance and development of the state under the vision of the Congress.” Although both the leaders held talks on transfer of power, but no date could be agreed upon, then it can be said that this dispute is not over.
