Opinion: Is Poll Promise Taking A Toll On The Karnataka Government?

Amid spiraling discord in its Karnataka unit, where several party MLAs have targeted their own government ministers, the Congress has called a meeting in Delhi today of ministers from the state.

Congress sources say the first meeting will take place between the party leadership and top Karnataka Congress leaders. The Delhi leadership will next meet with ministers and some senior MLAs. The party leadership may consider a coordination committee to address in-house grievances against their own government's policy.

The meetings were called against the backdrop of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah confronting MLAs' demands at a tense meeting of Congress MLAs recently.
