Congress High Command Holds Crucial Call on Karnataka Cabinet Reshuffle

Karnataka's political scene is abuzz as the state's home minister, G Parameshwara, asserts that any decision regarding a cabinet reshuffle is in the hands of Congress's high command and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. This comes amid heightened demands from several party legislators seeking ministerial positions.

Additional pressure mounts as a group of senior Congress legislators, with over three terms under their belts, convene with the Chief Minister to emphasize their ministerial aspirations. With the current cabinet carrying two vacant berths, the group plans a strategic trip to New Delhi to address their ambitions directly with the party's high command.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka by-polls loom, with candidates being evaluated based on their winnability. The political dynamics in constituencies like Bagalkote and Davangere South are significant post the demise of two sitting Congress MLAs, further shaping the political landscape.
