The Congress wants to wrest the maximum seats from the 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka this time. In the previous election tbr party managed to win only one seat.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had declared that the party would win 15 to 20 seats in the state in the upcoming elections. However, infighting within the party seems to be a game spoiler.

The statements by Home Minister G. Parameshwara and MLC B.K. Hariprasad questioning the leadership of Siddaramaiah have affected the Congress in the state.

The alleged letters by over 12 MLAs has further damaged the party’s image. MLA B.R. Patil had stated that he had told the leadership at the recent legislature party meeting that he won’t sit quiet if his self respect is hurt and had also raised many questions.

Sources said that the Congress leadership after closely observing these developments has called for a meeting to quell the dissent.
