Stand-off over Bengaluru Development portfolio likely to be discussed in Delhi

A political standoff regarding the Bengaluru Development portfolio is expected to be addressed in New Delhi. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is scheduled to travel to the capital on Wednesday for discussions with prominent Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Meanwhile, Krishna Byre Gowda, who has been assigned the portfolio but has not yet formally assumed responsibilities, is already present in Delhi.

This situation highlights potential internal party disagreements over key ministerial appointments and their distribution, which could impact governance in Karnataka.
