Is Siddaramaiah’s AHINDA camp showing signs of a split? A major OBC gathering in Bengaluru has triggered fresh political speculation after three prominent leaders associated with Siddaramaiah’s earlier AHINDA politics — Satish Jarkiholi, Zameer Ahmed Khan and H.C. Mahadevappa — were absent from the event. Their absence has fuelled questions over possible realignment within the Congress and the future shape of the AHINDA political platform.The development comes as Siddaramaiah seeks to reassert the politics of social justice and consolidate the AHINDA constituency of minorities, backward classes and Dalits. His recent public outreach to OBC and Dalit groups has renewed focus on his political influence even after stepping down as Karnataka Chief Minister.The absence of Jarkiholi, Zameer Ahmed Khan and Mahadevappa is particularly significant because all three have been associated with Siddaramaiah’s political camp in the past. Jarkiholi has said he was not invited to the event and has pushed back against the idea that AHINDA belongs to any one individual.Is Siddaramaiah rebuilding AHINDA with a new team? Are old loyalties shifting towards Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar? Could this become a larger Congress power struggle ahead of the 2028 Karnataka Assembly elections?Watch CNN-News18 LIVE for the latest Karnataka political developments, reactions, analysis and the big AHINDA question. -newsn18oc_indiaCNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
