31 Jul 2023 Evaluate

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar today said Congress leadership will meet ministers and senior leaders of the party from the state on August 2 in New Delhi, to formulate a strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha (LS) polls. AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, party leader Rahul Gandhi, state in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala, general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal will be present during the Delhi meeting.

The meeting gains significance amid reports that as many as 30 legislators have written to CM Siddaramaiah and party leadership expressing concern over non-implementation of development works in their constituencies. In response to a question on upcoming Delhi meeting, Shivakumar said ‘Yes, we have a political agenda, we have to finalise the plan of action for the Parliament (election), and how to go ahead with the Parliament (election). I want to fix the responsibility for all the leaders for the Parliament election and ticket (distribution) process’. Asked whether the meeting has also been called following dissent in the party, as some leaders are not happy, Shivakumar said there is no dissidence in the party and some MLAs had only requested for a CLP meeting, which was accordingly held last week. Legislators are said to be miffed and have complained that they had not been able to get work done in their constituencies, and also transfers (of Government servants) as requested, and have expressed unhappiness regarding Ministers, alleging non-cooperation.
