The Congress government in Karnataka is facing internal strife over the demand for additional Deputy Chief Ministers (DyCMs). Currently, there are three DyCMs, but some party members, including DK Suresh, are advocating for up to five more. Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar has stated that the party's central leadership will make the final decision. Meanwhile, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah plans to meet with the Congress high command in Delhi to discuss the issue. Priyank Kharge has also weighed in, suggesting that appeasement strategies might not be effective. The controversy has also been fueled by remarks from Karnataka Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, who attributed electoral success to Muslim votes, sparking further debate within the party. Sagar Khandre was mentioned in the context of these remarks.
