Karnataka's outgoing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah submitted his resignation to Governor Thawarchand Gehlot's special secretary, Prabhu Shankar, on Thursday, May 28, 2026, in the governor's absence. He then left Bengaluru for Delhi aboard a special aircraft with senior Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar, where he was scheduled to meet Congress Leader of Opposition and Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi and the party's top brass. However, sudden heavy rainfall and changing weather conditions in Delhi forced the plane to be diverted to Jaipur. Consequently, Siddaramaiah's meeting with Rahul Gandhi, which was planned for today, has been postponed. Officials confirmed that the aircraft was originally scheduled to land at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport on time but had to be rerouted to Jaipur due to adverse weather.
