Speaking after political developments on Saturday, Narayanaswamy stated that the leadership change would not deliver meaningful relief for Karnataka. “There may be a change in the government or the Congress party’s leadership. However, the truth is that this is a super corrupt government. It has been corrupt until now, and we will only continue to see a super corrupt government after this transition,” he told ANI.

He added that public dissatisfaction with the state government was increasing due to a lack of development. “The people of Karnataka are completely fed up with this administration because there is zero development in the state. This is why the government needs to go. The poorer sections of Karnataka are strongly against this system, and they are now entirely in favour of the BJP,” Narayanaswamy said.

He also warned, “I believe a mere change in leadership will not change anything except the person in charge. Don’t take the people of Karnataka for granted.”

These remarks come amid intense political activity in Karnataka as the Congress prepares for a key Congress Legislature Party meeting in Bengaluru at 4 pm on Saturday to determine leadership and organisational matters.

The meeting follows Siddaramaiah's resignation on May 28, which the Governor accepted, dissolving the Council of Ministers but requesting Siddaramaiah to remain as caretaker Chief Minister until alternatives are arranged.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and state Congress president DK Shivakumar arrived at Lok Bhavan earlier on Saturday ahead of the meeting, which is expected to be pivotal in setting the next leadership structure of the state government.

Shivakumar previously met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi during ongoing discussions regarding legislative leadership, Rajya Sabha nominations, and organisational appointments in Karnataka.
