Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Tuesday sidestepped questions about a possible change in Karnataka's leadership, saying 'time will answer'.
Shivakumar's comments came as the Congress government approaches the halfway mark of its term, sparking discussion about a reported power-sharing understanding in 2023.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has asserted that his government will continue for two more years under his leadership, but pressure for a cabinet reshuffle has been building within the party.
State Home Minister G Parameshwara emphasized that any leadership decision rests with the Chief Minister and the party's central leadership.
A group of around 40 legislators, many with multiple terms, plan to travel to New Delhi after the bypolls to press for inclusion in the ministry.
