Karnataka Assembly polls: Congress releases manifestoKarnataka Government Formation Live: DK Shivakumar with senior party leader Siddaramaiah during a press conference to release the party's manifesto (PTI)
Karnataka government formation Live Updates: Days after its triumph in the Karnataka Assembly Election, the Congress is likely to announce the next Chief Minister of the Southern state amid much political lobbying. In the running are former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and state party president D K Shivakumar. Speaking to news agency ANI, Shivakumar said that he would not resort to “backstabbing” or “blackmail” regardless of what the Congress’ top leadership decides on the matter.
While Siddaramaiah has emerged as the frontrunner, with majority of the newly elected MLAs learnt to have named him as their choice, Shivakumar played hardball. The Congress leader is slated to visit New Delhi today, after cancelling his trip on Monday, citing a stomach infection. His brother D K Suresh met with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in the capital on his behalf yesterday.
Meanwhile, as the BJP begins taking stock of its significant electoral loss in Karnataka and what led to it, one aspect that will come under critical review is the state leadership and its inputs that shaped the party’s campaign.

In sporting terms, the Karnataka Assembly elections can be termed as the quarter-finals and the elections in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana later this year the semi-finals ahead of the all-important Lok Sabha battle next year. The outcome of the Congress victory in Karnataka in many ways is a pointer to how the battle for supremacy in the general elections will shape up. The victory is a big morale booster for the Congress, which, barring the success in Himachal Pradesh in December, had not won a single state election since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The scale of the victory will help the Congress counter the narrative and perception that it loses out in direct fights with the BJP all the time. Given that four states will go to polls in the coming months, including Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh that it rules, the Karnataka victory gives the Congress the much-needed confidence to approach these polls aggressively and the political space to argue that it can still fire up the imagination of voters.
