New Delhi :The ongoing speculation regarding the new CM post in the Karnataka state seems to be calm at the moment, because a few days ago, Deputy CM Shivkumar and CM Siddaramaiah had breakfast together and put a full stop to all the ongoing speculations regarding the CM post, but the possibility of change of leadership in the state has become a big challenge for the Congress high command. Now the role of Dalit MLAs has become stronger in the party, who have raised the demand for proper representation on the basis of their important role in the 2023 elections. In this situation, the name of Mallikarjun Kharge is again emerging as the main option.

Growing power of Dalit leaders in Karnataka
Let us tell you that the Dalit leaders of Congress gave excellent results in the elections this time. Yes. Parameshwara was entrusted with the supervision of 36 SC reserved seats, out of which Congress won 32. Whereas, Satish Jarkiholi got the responsibility of 15 ST seats, out of which he won 14 seats. These victories have given Dalit leaders a stronger position in the party and they are now demanding to increase their representation and rights.

Kharge has deep influence with the Dalit community.
Actually, the name of Mallikarjun Kharge is emerging because he has deep influence in the Dalit community and he is considered an experienced and trustworthy leader within the party. The growing tussle between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the meetings of leaders in Delhi and the intervention of the high command indicated that the party is now in a position to find a permanent solution. Rahul Gandhi’s meeting with Kharge and his son has further intensified the speculations about new leadership in political circles.

What will be the next strategy of Congress?
The Congress high command is now in a position to decide whether there should be a change of leadership in the state and if it is done then Mallikarjun Kharge would be the safest and most accepted option. The growing power of Dalit leaders and their role in election results has further strengthened this possibility. Now all eyes are on what next step the Congress high command takes and whether Karnataka will get a new Chief Minister or not.
