Jarkihol further noted that when the topic of the Chief Minister arises, opposition leaders often refer to their party members in a complimentary manner, but he reassured that there have been no significant developments or discussions within the party regarding a leadership change. “It’s common for supporters to celebrate their leader as the next Chief Minister, but I want to clarify that no changes are on the horizon,” he added.

When asked about the role of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar in this context, Jarkihol stated, “I cannot speak on behalf of others. Politicians come together to discuss politics regularly, but there is nothing extraordinary about it.” He also dismissed the significance of visits to Mysore, asserting that his day will be dedicated to enjoying the Dussehra festivities.
