New Delhi, Nov. 26 -- Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Wednesday highlighted the power tussle between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, amid speculation about a change in the state's chief minister, after the Congress government reached the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20.

He described the situation as an open conflict, with ministers vying for the Chief Minister position and criticised the Karnataka government, stating that the administration has collapsed and ministers are focused on the upcoming leadership shift rather than their duties.

"This isn't an internal conflict, sir. Everything is completely out in the open... Everyone is fighting openly... No minister is interested in the administration. They are all busy wit...
