New Delhi, Oct 17: Ahead of next year's Assembly election, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Monday revamped the party's Karnataka unit by appointing 15 district chiefs and nominating a jumbo executive committee.

Rahul also announced a 35-member manifesto committee and made former chief minister M Veerappa Moily its chairman and former Lok Sabha member B L Shankar its vice chairman.

The committee's other members include veteran Margaret Alva, state working presidents Dinesh Gundu Rao and S R Patil, senior ministers Kagodu Thimmappa, H K Patil, M B Patil, Ramalinga Reddy and K J George.Following are district unit presidents: Lakshman Rao Chingale (Chikkodi), Vinay Navalgatti (Belgaum), Rafiq (Bellari City), K Harish Kumar (Dakshina Kannada), Jagadeva Guttedar (Kalaburagi), Syed Ajampeer Khadri (Haveri), M B Shivamudappa (Kodagu), Janardhana Thonse (Udupi), S Gangadhar (Ramanagara), M Rajakumar (Bengaluru North), G Shekar (Bengaluru Central), G Krishnappa (Bengaluru South), Altaf Hallur (Hubli City), Basavaraj Jaab Shetty (Bidar) and G Keshava Reddy (Chikkaballapura).

All-inclusive executive

The executive committee has 94 members with CWC members, AICC officer bearers, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, MPs from the state, former chief ministers, former state unit presidents and former union ministers being included as ex-officio members.

Special invitees to the Executive Committee include all the ministers and chiefs of frontal organisations in the state.

Last week, Rahul had held a meeting with Karnataka leaders, including Siddaramaiah, G Parameshwara, AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal, senior leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Moily to review the functioning of the state unit.

The Congress had settled the factional feud in the Karnataka unit by making it clear in May that the election next year would be contested under the leadership of Siddaramaiah. As per the agreed formula, G Parmeshwara quit as Home Minister of the state to focus his energies on his role as President of the state Congress.

@Yogesh: Not even with tampered EVM. BJP has already lost in Gujrat. BJP is so scared of their performance they are already planning for 2019 elections. People of India knows - fake development model of gujrat by now. Even feku stopped saying gujrat model and we make India into another gujrat.

 

And BJP wont get anything in Karnataka

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.
