Another ‘nataka’ brewing? CM-deputy pair stoke power tussle fears in Karnataka

G Parameshwara’s appointment as deputy CM in Karnataka’s DK Shivakumar government revives memories of past power tussles within the Congress. Previously, Parameshwara, as state party president, clashed with CM Siddaramaiah over party control. His current elevation is seen as a move to balance caste and factional interests, pacifying him after he vied for the CM post.
