BJP claims Shivkumar
BJP leader R. Ashok said, “D.K. Shivkumar can tie up with BJP and play an important role in toppling the Congress government. ” He further claimed that Shivkumar has also decided the ‘Shubh Muhurta’ for the change of leadership, which is 16 November 2025.
Shivkumar is being given the reason behind this statement to attend the Mahashivratri ceremony of Isha Foundation in Coimbatore and the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah there. The BJP has introduced it as a sign of differences in the Congress.
Shivkumar’s response: ‘I am a born Congressman’
Amidst these speculation, D.K. Shivkumar rejected the BJP’s claims outright. He said, “I am a Hindu to a Hindu and will be a Hindu till dying, but I respect all religions. The BJP is propagating against me. I am a dedicated Congressman and committed to win the party in the 2028 assembly elections. ”
Questions raised on joining Isha Foundation
Questions have also been raised within the Congress when Shivkumar joined the Isha Foundation program. Congress leader P.V. Mohan expressed displeasure over his participation and described it as against the secular principles of the party. On this, Shivkumar said, “I am not going to answer the high command. I have faith in Shivaratri and I do not care about any dispute about it. “
BJP’s ‘Eknath Shinde’ tanj
Referring to the 2022 political upheaval of Maharashtra, the BJP said that the Congress may have to face a similar situation in Karnataka. In Maharashtra, Eknath Shinde revolted from Shiv Sena and formed a government with BJP, after which Uddhav Thackeray’s government fell.
Fear of political upheaval in Karnataka?
It will be a matter to be seen whether there may be a big upset in the politics of Karnataka amid the BJP’s claims and the questions arising in the Congress. At the moment, D.K. Shivkumar has described these speculations as baseless, but the BJP is constantly engaged in highlighting the internal discord of the Congress.
