New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: KPCC working president and Rajya Sabha member GC Chandrashekar on Monday clarified that there will be no change in the KPCC president’s post in the near future, and the party will face the upcoming polls under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC president DK Shivakumar. The Congress will discuss the upcoming BBMP and local body elections with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and DCM Shivakumar.

Congress leaders took a dig at former BJP minister N Munirathna who had reportedly stated that Bengaluru Graduates’ seat Congress candidate Ramoji Gowda is not a Vokkaliga and that he hails from Maharashtra.
