Although the discussion is gaining dynamics over the possible rearrangement of the Karnataka cabinet, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah reportedly stated higher ministers that such a step was probably in the last November or first week of December, and advised them to be “mentally prepared” for him.
For a dinner organized for colleagues from the Cabinet on Monday evening, the main minister learned that he had told the leaders to be ready to take over the party’s responsibility. The main command of the congress, which completed the review of the state government, is said to have said that the regrouping has become an inevitable way for new faces, as the government has been completing two and a half years in office.
Sources said that while some ministers may be abandoned, Mr. Siddaramaiaha has promised that those who resigned down would be treated honestly and have key organizational duties in the party.
Sources stressed that the main command, the restructuring of the cabinet and holds a detailed “message card” that will assess the performance of each minister, based on which instructions can be issued at any time.
Along with the management of things, Mr. Siddaramaiah learned to emphasize the need to strengthen the party organization with regard to the upcoming Civic and Panchayat elections and surveys of the Assembly of 2028.
“Congress must consolidate its position at all levels to ensure the victory in Zilla Panchayat, Taluk Panchayat and the elections of Greater Bengaluru (GBA),” he allegedly told the ministers.
Sources have stated that some higher ministers are likely to be assigned specific liability to manage elections in the Bihar Assembly. The main minister at Monday’s meeting reportedly explained the instructions of the highest command in the Bihar campaign and asked ministers to travel to that state to supervise the party’s efforts there.
Preparations for a vote on a local body
They are expected to take place in February or March elections to five newly created municipal corporations under the GBA, along with Zilla and Taluk Panchayats. The main minister reportedly ordered the ministers to start the foundations immediately.
He pointed out that the local elections in the body were waiting for several years and the victory of all five new corporations would be the main challenge.
“Opposition to the counter”
The main minister is understood that he has published a strict message to his colleagues to actively defend the government and face opposition criticism. Sources said he expressed the displeasure that only a few ministers responded to opposition attacks.
“The opposition still criticizes the government for no reason, but most ministers are silent. You must strongly defend the government’s attitude and achievements, including our position on the RSS, and respond firmly to the opposition,” the Minister said.
He pointed out that the leaders of BJP and JD (s) are doing “false accusations” against the government, but too few ministers faced them.
Cm upset over remarks about change of leadership
Main Minister Siddaramaiah is said that he expressed his no way over some ministers who make a public statement about a possible change of leadership.
“Despite repeated instructions from the party leadership, President KPCC and I, some are still talking. That’s not right,” he said.
Sources said that after serving a total of seven and a half years as the main minister-including his previous term-it is Mr. Siddaramaiah ready to overcome the holding of D. Devaraj Urs, who holds the record as the longest serving main Minister Karnatak. “Any change of management would then be only on its own decision,” he added.
