Karnataka Congress Leaders to Meet Sonia Gandhi Amidst Power Struggle Rumours

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar of Karnataka are scheduled to meet senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi, amid persistent rumours of an internal power struggle within the state unit.

This significant meeting is expected to take place following the Congress party's extensive Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod rally at Ramlila Maidan. The campaign alleges collusion between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Election Commission.

Sources familiar with the matter indicate that once the rally concludes, Sonia Gandhi, along with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and former President Rahul Gandhi, will hold a crucial discussion with the Karnataka Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister.

This huddle is widely anticipated to be a strategic move by the party leadership to address and potentially resolve the reported internal tensions and power dynamics in Karnataka. The gathering highlights the partys focus on stabilising its state leadership while simultaneously advancing its national campaign agenda.
