In an attempt to address recent tensions within the party, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah met with Deputy CM DK Shivakumar and other cabinet colleagues. The meeting aimed to quell speculation about a change in leadership and reinforce a gag order on party members. While the meeting was officially organized to gather feedback from ministers, insiders suggest that recent public statements on the leadership issue led to the show of unity.
