Suryaa National Desk: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was absent from the Diwali Milan event organized by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Delhi. His absence has become a subject of political discussion.
Reports indicate that Siddaramaiah is dissatisfied with the ongoing investigation into a sting operation involving him. Yathindra, the son of the Chief Minister, has alleged that Union Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy is behind the controversial sting video.
Meanwhile, Congress MLC Rajendra has expressed concern that the current developments and speculation regarding the removal of Siddaramaiah from the Chief Minister's post could alienate the 'Ahinda' (backward classes, minorities, and Dalits) communities, which serve as a strong vote bank for the Congress party. The Chief Minister's absence from the event has further fueled speculation regarding internal party differences and potential leadership changes in the state.
