Karnataka Congress Rift Widens: Siddaramaiah’s Solo MLA Meetings Spark Tension
The Karnataka Congress is facing renewed internal strife as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah holds individual meetings with party MLAs, notably excluding state Congress chief DK Shivakumar. These meetings, intended to address MLAs’ concerns regarding pending grants and stalled projects, have inadvertently fueled further political division within the party.
MLA Grievances Add Fuel to the Fire
While the meetings were ostensibly designed to soothe anxieties and resolve issues raised by MLAs, the absence of Shivakumar has sparked speculation and heightened existing tensions between the two leaders. Many MLAs rely on these grants and project approvals for crucial development work in their constituencies, and delays have caused growing frustration.
Shivakumar’s Absence Raises Eyebrows
Shivakumar’s exclusion from these important discussions has amplified concerns about the growing divide within the party. This situation underscores the delicate balance of power within the Karnataka Congress and the potential for further internal conflict. The perceived sidelining of a key leader like Shivakumar raises questions about unity and strategic decision-making within the party.
