Amid ongoing speculation over the Karnataka Congress leadership and the proposed cabinet reshuffle, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has reportedly been summoned to New Delhi by the party high command. According to sources, Siddaramaiah has been asked to visit Delhi on May 26. However, the meeting is officially said to be related to discussions on the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

Political circles are also speculating that issues related to cabinet reshuffle, power-sharing arrangements, and the selection of candidates for the Legislative Council elections may come up for discussion. The Congress high command had earlier indicated that it would turn its attention towards Karnataka after the government formation process in Kerala.
