1. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his council of ministers are expected to hold another round of meetings to discuss ways and means of implementing the pre-poll guarantees the Congress party made to the people. The government is now trying to figure out fiscally prudent modalities of working them out before the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
2. Poll strategist Sunil Kanugolu, who is believed to have played a key role in the Congress’s victory in Karnataka Assembly elections, is expected to be appointed adviser to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. An official order in this regard, however, is as yet awaited.
3. The Opposition BJP is set to launch month-long campaign from today in the State to mark the 9th anniversary of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The saffron party, which met with a miserable defeat in the recently held Karnataka Assembly elections, is trying to use the campaign to begin its preparations for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
