With factionism growing within the ruling Congress party in the new year, all eyes are on the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting which is scheduled to take place at a private hotel in the State Capital this evening, which will be attended by Congress party State In-Charge and AICC General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala.
As the factions supporting Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who is also the KPCC President, continue to issue statements favouring their leaders for the Chief Minister’s post amidst a chorus of ‘Dalit CM’ by some Legislators, with Siddaramaiah already at the helm, the Congress High Command has stepped in to bring about truce between different factions of the party, which are vouching for the cause of their leaders.
