S Ravi Elected Unopposed as Karnataka Apex Bank President Amid Internal Party Deliberations
Karnataka State Cooperative Apex Bank held elections for president and vice-president, with Congress MLC S Ravi, brother-in-law of Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, elected unopposed as president. Former minister K N Rajanna, an ST leader and Siddaramaiah loyalist, was a key contender but was ultimately not chosen. The decision followed internal party deliberations and a meeting chaired by the chief minister. The election ends months of political maneuvering within the cooperative sector, with the party aiming for unity amid caste and leadership considerations.
