Scuffle Erupts at Belagavi Congress Meeting Over Office-Bearer Selection
A meeting at the Belagavi district Congress office on July 27 to select new office-bearers escalated into a scuffle between rival party factions, including supporters of former MLA Ramesh Kudchi. The altercation arose during consultations led by AICC observer Manoj Chauhan. Police intervened to restore order, and Congress MLA Asif Sait downplayed the incident, describing it as a misunderstanding without serious infighting. The party is conducting similar organisational meetings statewide to involve grassroots workers in leadership selections.
