Unscheduled meet between PM Modi & DK Shivakumar raises eyebrows!

An unscheduled hour-long conversation between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister DK Shivakumar during the Namma Metro Pink Line inauguration has sparked intense speculation in Karnataka’s political circles. Having reportedly sought private time with Modi beforehand, Shivakumar’s extended huddle raises questions beyond routine demands for drought relief or metro funding.

With an alleged sting operation rattling former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and prompting urgent meetings between Rahul Gandhi and Karnataka Congress leaders, could Shivakumar be quietly hedging his political bets? Whether this signals a potential tactical détente with New Delhi or subtle leverage against rival party factions, the optics strongly suggest growing turbulence beneath Karnataka’s ruling coalition.
