1. CLP meeting sets target of winning 20 seats in Lok Sabha 2024 polls
The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah this morning, set a target of winning at least 20 parliamentary seats in Karnataka in the 2024 general elections. Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar added that the other challenge before the legislators was to also ensure a majority of seats in BBMP polls.
Following the meeting, the CM and Deputy CM are expected to leave for New Delhi to discuss Cabinet expansion, even as the two leaders are not seeing eye-to-eye on many choices. Against the sanctioned strength of 34, there are too many aspirants for ministerial berths.
