A high-stakes breakfast meeting between CM Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar took place at the Deputy CM’s residence, where the DK brothers welcomed the CM with flowers and a silk shawl. After breakfast and a brief home tour, both leaders denied any rift. Siddaramaiah acknowledged Shivakumar’s CM ambitions, even as sources say the high command has ruled out any change for now. BJP called the truce temporary as tensions persist within Congress.
