Evidence (2023-05-19): DK Shivakumar: The master strategist behind Congress’s revival [...] For five days, DK Shivakumar held his ground, refusing to back down. In front of an opponent with considerable heft and a pan-Karnataka appeal, he argued his case passionately, both in Bengaluru and Delhi. On Thursday, he did give in, acceding to the idea that he would not be the state’s next chief minister but the only deputy to Siddaramaiah. This could well mean more battles ahead, both with the BJP in 2024, and for his own space the Karnataka Congress, of which he will continue to be president. But if the 40-year-long political career of DK Shivakumar -- as troubleshooter, businessman, strongman, loyalist -- is anything to go by, he will be up for the fight, and for the next job at hand. [...] Shivakumar made many friends, has always had one lodestar: Sonia Gandhi. In 2004, when Sonia Gandhi declined the chance to be Prime Minister, he led a protest outside her home in Delhi, beseeching her to reconsider.

She told me I had to deliver Karnataka, and I have done it," he said.

Evidence (2024-06-23): Flush with a renewed sense of panache post-Lok Sabha election results, she is being described as a star campaigner, a backroom strategist, troubleshooter, and a talisman for the Congress. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is perceived as the real ‘crisis manager’ for her elder brother Rahul Gandhi after he relinquished the Wayanad seat to retain Rae Bareli — one of the most difficult choices of his life. Priyanka will now contest the Wayanad bye-election after resisting to take the poll plunge since she entered active politics in 2019. Though it was anticipated that she would contest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi after taking over as the party’s general secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh in 2019, she opted out of the fray. After accepting party chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s proposal that she should fight Wayanad bypolls, Priyanka said she was simply "lending her hand" to her brother. [...] Priyanka has also displayed immense courage when she was faced with political and personal challenges, said another leader. In 1984, when Priyanka was 12 years old, Indira was assassinated. Seven years later, her father Rajiv Gandhi was killed in a suicide bombing in Tamil Nadu.
