Bengaluru, May 27 -- The intense political drama surrounding the Karnataka Chief Minister's post has finally reached a decisive stage, with strong indications emerging that Siddaramaiah has agreed to step down following sustained pressure and negotiations by the Congress high command in New Delhi.

Highly placed party sources told Siasat.com that the Congress leadership spent several hours convincing Siddaramaiah to honour the internal power-sharing understanding reached during the formation of the government in 2023. The breakthrough reportedly came after a series of marathon meetings held at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters involving senior leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and KC Venugopal.
