“Being the party president, I know my limits,” he told reporters, adding that he had never issued statements suggesting disagreement with the CM or challenging his authority.

Shivakumar said the government’s focus remained on longterm political planning, and that he and Siddaramaiah would work together to frame the Congress’s approach for the 2028 Assembly elections. “There is no difference between me and the CM...We are all working together...Our aim is 2028 and 2029...,” he said.
