Shivakumar<\/strong> as the party\u2019s <strong>Chief Ministerial candidate for the 2028 Assembly elections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Proposed \u20182028 Formula\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to party sources, the formula is designed to deliver two key outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Full Term for Siddaramaiah:<\/strong> Ensure the Chief Minister completes his tenure until 2028 without a mid-term handover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Succession Assurance for Shivakumar:<\/strong> Offer D.K. Shivakumar the official CM face position for the next election, acknowledging his long-standing ambition for the top job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Siddaramaiah\u2019s camp believes this could stabilise the government and settle internal anxieties over alleged power-sharing commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fresh Turbulence Within Congress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the proposal has triggered new friction instead of calming the ongoing tussle between the state\u2019s two tallest Congress leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Delay Tactics Alleged:<\/strong> Political observers view the move as an attempt by the Siddaramaiah faction to push back any leadership transition, despite earlier reports suggesting an informal rotational arrangement in which Shivakumar would take over mid-term.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Shivakumar\u2019s Lobbying:<\/strong> D.K. Shivakumar, who also heads the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), has reportedly continued lobbying the Congress high command for the CM post. The 2028 offer recognises his aspiration but effectively postpones it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>New Aspirants Emerge:<\/strong> The formula has also drawn other contenders into the arena. Senior minister <strong>Satish Jarkiholi<\/strong> publicly signalled his interest in contesting for the Chief Minister\u2019s post in 2028, hinting at a potential multi-cornered race for succession.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>High Command Faces a Delicate Balancing Act<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Congress leadership in New Delhi must now navigate deepening rifts between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, whose partnership was crucial to the party\u2019s victory in Karnataka.
