Did Siddaramaiah's son, Yathindra, urge DK Shivkumar not to push for change of guard?

Siddaramaiah's son, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, reportedly spoke to Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar urging him not to push for a change in the chief ministership, emphasizing that this is Siddaramaiah's last term as Chief Minister. Yathindra indicated that his father is in the final phase of his political career and implied that the current term should not be disrupted by leadership tussles. This statement was seen as a move to maintain stability within the Karnataka Congress party amid growing speculations about a leadership change, with DK Shivakumar being viewed as a prime contender for the Chief Minister post. Yathindra’s comments were interpreted as an attempt to keep power consolidated within his father's camp and to discourage premature attempts to unseat Siddaramaiah. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between the two leaders, as well as the concerns about governance distractions caused by leadership disputes. Siddaramaiah himself has affirmed he intends to complete the full term, pending the party high command's decision, underscoring the desire for continuity in his administration.
