Karnataka's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is expected to resign soon as Congress plans a political reset before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. 

The party aims to elevate Siddaramaiah to a national role in Delhi, focusing on strengthening OBC representation. This move follows secretive talks among senior leaders and revives debates over leadership succession in Karnataka, with Deputy CM DK Shivakumar seen as the likely successor. 

Congress denies any official leadership change despite ongoing speculations and negotiations.
