A group of Congress MLAs from Karnataka has traveled to Delhi to meet the party leadership, seeking ministerial representation and pressing for a long-pending cabinet reshuffle.
The delegation includes leaders such as Ashok Pattan, S.N. Narayanaswamy, K. Shadakshari, AR Krishnamurthy, Puttaranga Shetty and Belur Gopal Krishna, among others.
Many of them are multiple-term legislators who believe it is time for a reshuffle that gives them a chance in the ministry, news agency ANI reported.
The Congress government in Karnataka has been dealing with internal friction, particularly with sections backing Shivakumar for the chief minister’s post in line with the 2023 “power-sharing agreement.”
Meetings with top leadership lined up, the MLAs are expected to meet senior Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, K.C. Venugopal and Randeep Surjewala, during their stay in the capital.
