Brass to discuss Congress’s Karnataka performance in Lok Sabha polls separately
New Indian ExpressBENGALURU : The Congress Working Committee meeting in New Delhi that deliberated on the selection of Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha also discussed the party’s poor performance in certain states that had done well in the Assembly elections, especially Karnataka. AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge said the party high command will soon hold a meeting to discuss the party’s performance in states separately. The Congress high command, which has become strong, is likely to deal with its state units with an iron hand, political analysts said. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah could be asked to reshuffle his cabinet and some ministers could be dropped if they were proved to have worked tacitly with BJP candidates despite Congress having an edge in those constituencies, they added.
