Karnataka Congress in Flux: Potential Leadership Shake-up Amidst Rising Discontent

In Karnataka, the AICC General Secretary in-charge, Randeep Singh Surjewala, has initiated a series of meetings with party legislators, stirring speculation about a potential leadership change amidst growing unrest within the ruling party.

Sources indicate that Surjewala, who is on a three-day visit, plans to hold primarily one-on-one discussions with elected members. He aims to listen to their grievances and gather insights into the government's functioning, especially in light of mounting dissatisfaction among some MLAs.

As internal criticism grows, sparked by remarks from Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna suggesting 'revolutionary' political shifts post-September, there is increasing talk of a possible cabinet reshuffle and a change in the state Congress presidency, challenges that Surjewala is tasked to navigate during his visit.
