After a meeting with senior leaders of the party on Wednesday in Delhi, AICC general secretary in charge of Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala is expected to arrive Bengaluru in a few days to hold talks with MLAs who have been miffed over denial of Cabinet berths as well as delay in the appointment of chairpersons to State government-owned boards and corporations.
The Central leaders of the Congress only met a few senior leaders and Ministers in Delhi and largely discussed a strategy related to the next year’s Lok Sabha elections.
Mr. Surjewala is expected to hold one-on-one meetings with MLAs during his stay in Bengaluru on August 9 or 10. The meeting with MLAs assumes significance as it comes amid brewing discontent within the ruling party with many legislators reportedly having written to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the party leadership expressing concern over non-implementation of development works in their constituencies and functioning of certain Ministers.
