As Siddaramaiah steps aside, Congress confronts lessons from Karnataka’s past
As Siddaramaiah steps down as Karnataka's chief minister, the Congress party reflects on past leadership transitions. The party is cautious about maintaining the support of the AHINDA coalition, which Siddaramaiah has represented. This transition is seen as a critical moment for the Congress, with potential implications for its electoral future.
