Can Cong address leadership issues in Karnataka?

Disunity has historically undermined ruling parties, often leading to their electoral downfall. In 2023, the Congress approached the assembly elections in Karnataka with a united front. In contrast, the BJP displayed clear divisions during its campaign. Although the Congress has made strides to address leadership issues, internal tensions persist, particularly between supporters of Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar. This ongoing strife has occasionally required intervention from party leadership. The next two years will be pivotal for both Cong and BJP, as history suggests that persistent infighting can be detrimental. A stable leadership structure, coupled with policy consistency, is essential for maintaining political strength.
