Debate Over AHINDA Politics Surfaces Within Karnataka Congress Leadership
Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar affirmed that the AHINDA bloc, representing minorities, backward classes, and Dalits, is central to Congress ideology, emphasizing unity under leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Siddaramaiah. Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi, a key AHINDA figure, expressed that AHINDA is not owned by any individual. Meanwhile, former MP Pratap Simha accused Siddaramaiah of reviving AHINDA politics to pressure Shivakumar and destabilize the government, citing internal Congress disagreements and sidelining of senior leaders.
