Sacked Karnataka Minister K.N. Rajanna Meets CM Siddaramaiah Amid Letter Row

In a significant political development in Karnataka, sacked minister and Congress MLA K.N. Rajanna met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at his residence. This meeting follows a dinner with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and the leak of a letter Rajanna wrote to Rahul Gandhi regarding his suspension. In the letter, Rajanna reportedly blamed KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar for the party's performance, stating that if the 'President had paid more attention on the voter list', the outcome would have been different. Rajanna, a Siddaramaiah loyalist, was removed from the cabinet in August 2025 after criticizing Rahul Gandhi's 'Vote Chori' (Vote Theft) allegations.
