MLA urges Cong to take call on K’taka leadership change

Pressure is mounting within the Congress party to make a decision on Karnataka's future leadership. Senior Congress MLA KN Rajanna has urged the party high command to take an early decision on a cabinet reshuffle or possible leadership transition, citing the need to resolve uncertainty that could affect governance and party functioning. The speculation over leadership change has been ongoing since the government crossed the halfway mark of its tenure, with some pushing for the elevation of deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar.
