AICC General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala on Friday said that the Congress high command has cautioned its Karnataka leaders against making any public remarks on the ongoing buzz over the state\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Surjewala\u2019s comments come at a time when speculation is growing over a possible shift in power within the ruling party in the state.<\/p>\n

He issued the clarification in a detailed post on X, saying he had recently spoken to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who agreed that the Karnataka BJP, along with parts of the media, was running a \u201cmaligning campaign against Karnataka and its Congress Government”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sole idea is to undermine the stellar achievements and 5 Congress Govt Guarantees, which have become an outstanding model of inclusive development and distributive justice,” the AICC General Secretary wrote.<\/p>\n

The Congress leader also noted that some unnecessary comments from within the party had added fuel to the ongoing rumours. He said the party had firmly warned its leaders and MLAs not to speak publicly about the leadership issue or fall for what he called the agenda of \u201cvested interests.”<\/p>\n

\u201cINC has sternly warned them from making any public statements on the issue of leadership or falling for the agenda being propagated by the vested interests,” he noted.<\/p>\n

Surjewala further added that the views shared by various party members had been taken into account by the leadership, but the matter should not be debated in public.<\/p>\n

Surjewala\u2019s statement comes following a late-night meeting in New Delhi on Thursday, where a group of Karnataka Congress MLAs close to Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar met Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. The meeting, held just as the Siddaramaiah government completed two and a half years in office, has intensified rumours of internal tensions and possible demands for a change in leadership.<\/p>\n
