Internal Conspiracy Leads to Rift Within Karnataka Congress

A rift has emerged within the Karnataka Congress following allegations of an internal conspiracy against the party's official candidate in the Davanagere South by-election. The accusations have prompted Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to take action based on a report from an AICC secretary.

This internal turmoil comes amidst resignations and unrest, particularly from the party's Minority Department chairman, K Abdul Jabbar, and his supporters. Despite the controversy, the chief minister has denied any acceptance of defeat, insisting that anti-party activities will not thwart their electoral success.

Central figures in the conflict include State Housing Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan and others who have been implicated in the alleged conspiracy. Concerns remain over Muslim voter disenchantment, which could potentially benefit rival parties in upcoming contests.
