India Politics Highlights| Criminals, gangsters got right to rape, loot under TMC banner: CPI(M)'s Md SalimThere have been speculations within political circles, especially within the ruling Congress in Karnataka, for some time now about the chief minister change later this year, citing power-sharing agreement involving Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. Although such talks had taken a backseat for some time, speculation over leadership change has resurfaced with some party MLAs making claims about Shivakumar becoming the CM later this year. On Tuesday, Randeep Singh Surjewala who met MLAs in Karnataka ruled out gathering any opinion on leadership change. Meanwhile, the BJP launched a sharp attack on the Congress and said its president Mallikarjun Kharge has no real authority in the party. Thank you for staying with us to track all the updates.
