Karnataka Congress Power Struggle Reaches Delhi
Over 30 MLAs camp in the national capital, pushing for a major cabinet reshuffle and intensifying pressure on party leadership
The political turmoil within the Karnataka Congress has escalated to the national stage, as more than 30 party MLAs have gathered in New Delhi to demand a significant reshuffle in the state cabinet. Their objective is to meet the party high command, including Rahul Gandhi, and press for inclusion in the Siddaramaiah-led government.
What began as internal discontent has now transformed into a fierce contest for ministerial positions. The MLAs are actively lobbying for cabinet berths, turning the situation into a high-stakes power struggle within the party.
Sources indicate that this coordinated effort—often referred to as “dinner diplomacy”—is aimed at building pressure on the leadership. Some legislators are reportedly demanding the removal of nearly 25 current ministers to create space for new entrants.
The unfolding developments highlight deepening internal tensions in the Karnataka Congress and suggest that a major cabinet reshuffle could be imminent, potentially reshaping the state’s political landscape.
