Karnataka Congress Dynamics: Surjewala's Strategic Meetings Amid Leadership Speculation

Randeep Singh Surjewala, AICC General Secretary in charge of Karnataka, has commenced a series of meetings with Congress legislators in a bid described as an organizational exercise. Recently, there has been growing speculation of a potential leadership shift within the ruling party.

Surjewala has clarified that these sessions are a regular part of internal evaluations by the party, dismissing media reports about leadership changes as unfounded. His tour involves consultations with various state party members, aiming to gather feedback on the government's performance and assess execution status of five key state schemes.

Amidst dissatisfaction among some MLAs and rumors of impactful political developments, there is also talk of a cabinet reshuffle. Surjewala's findings will inform the party leadership's next steps, with leaders like AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah keeping a close watch on proceedings.
