Karnataka CM Race | Procedure Of Congress To Choose The CM Vs How BJP Choose Their Candidates

When you have two contenders for the chief minister’s chair, there is bound to be some lobbying and jostling for power.

But what has emerged as a contrast on this count has been the public spectacle that plays out in the Congress, presently in Karnataka and in Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh and Punjab in the past. A more disciplined approach is apparent in the BJP which not only enjoys a stronger central leadership in form of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, but also the luxury to offer a central post to the one whose loses out, as a ‘compromise’. The classic case of the same has been in Uttar Pradesh and Assam.

Both DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah have gone public in the media in the last two days, laying out their case why either should be made the chief minister. Details of their private conversations with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, running down each other, have also leaked from their camps. In the process, the narrative that should have stayed on the phenomenal Congress win in a big state after a gap of four years has shifted to the rather ugly fight for the CM’s chair.
