BENGALURU: The leadership tussle in Karnataka has once again come to the forefront, with Deputy Chief Minister and state Congress President D.K. Shivakumar, a strong contender for the CM post, sharing a cryptic poster on Wednesday.

The poster, shared on social media platform X, prominently features Deputy CM Shivakumar with the message, “Efforts may fail, but prayers never do.”

The development has assumed significance amid strong rumours that the party’s national leadership will call Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM Shivakumar to resolve the leadership tussle after the Sankranti festival.
