India, Nov. 15 -- The opposition BJP in Karnataka on Friday said it expects the "power tussle" within the ruling Congress to escalate in the coming weeks, especially after the party's setback in the Bihar assembly elections.

According to BJP leaders, the outcome has "weakened" the Congress high command, thereby strengthening Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's position within the state unit.

The comments come amid persistent speculation over a possible change in leadership as the Siddaramaiah-led government approaches the halfway point of its five-year term in November, a period that some political observers have begun to label the "November revolution."
