Following the victory of the Congress in the Karnataka Assembly elections, the party high command is likely to ask KPCC president and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to monitor and strategise the elections in Telangana later this year and steer the party to a victory in a similar fashion to that of Karnataka.
Mr. Shivakumar, who left for the national capital on Wednesday evening, would meet Congress president M. Mallikarjun Kharge and the former AICC chief Rahul Gandhi and discuss the poll strategy in Telangana, sources in the party here said.
In fact, after the party’s victory in Karnataka, a delegation of Congress leaders from Telangana met Mr. Shivakumar and invited him to work out a “winning formula” for the party in their State.
