Siddaramaiah’s Son Affirms Confidence in Father’s Full Term as Karnataka CM Amidst Speculation

Belagavi, December 8, 2025 – In a statement that could fuel further speculation regarding the leadership of the Karnataka government, MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, today voiced his strong belief that his father will complete his full term in office.

Speaking to a private TV channel in Belagavi, Mr. Yathindra dismissed rumors of an impending change in leadership, often fueled by the opposition, as mere wishful thinking. “Personally, I have confidence that my father will complete the full term as Chief Minister,” he stated. “The Chief Minister is running the government well, and there are no mistakes on the part of the government. People are also happy with the Congress government.”

His remarks come despite recent announcements by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar that they would abide by the decision of the party high command on any leadership changes.

Mr. Yathindra refuted claims from the opposition that this current legislative session would be Mr. Siddaramaiah’s last as Chief Minister. He pointed out that the opposition has consistently predicted Mr. Siddaramaiah’s downfall since the government’s first year, citing various issues that have never materialized.

When questioned about a potential summons to Delhi from the party high command, Mr. Yathindra stated that as of today, no such request had been made. “But we have to wait and see in the future,” he added.

The statement from Mr. Yathindra is likely to further intensify the ongoing debate surrounding the leadership of the Congress government in Karnataka.
