Ministers in the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government, who are also holding party posts but have not been able to devote time to party work, were asked by the high command to give them up for other leaders who can focus on it. This was discussed in the preparatory meeting for Lok Sabha elections held between the Congress high command with State leaders at New Delhi on Wednesday.
Ministers such as Ramalinga Reddy, Eshwar Khandre and Satish Jarkiholi have been continuing as working presidents of the KPCC.
