Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, and State Congress in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala are scheduled to meet in Delhi on July 10.

The meeting comes after Surjewala spent six days listening to grievances from over a hundred Congress MLAs in Karnataka, sparking speculation about its agenda.

The three leaders are expected to discuss appointments to 7–8 state corporations and boards. Key topics will also include party organisation and government administration.

Surjewala met 61 MLAs at the KPCC office between July 7 and July 9. In the previous week, he held discussions with 42 MLAs. Based on these interactions, he has prepared a written report highlighting issues in constituencies, lack of cooperation from ministers, and other governance concerns.
