Congress, which lost power after severe defeat in the last Assembly Election, is yet to recover especially after a poor performance in the byelections held after losing power in the Coalition government formed along with Janata Dal (Secular) headed by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy following strong rebel activities which paved way for BJP to bounce back to power.
This is the first meeting on party affairs in Karnataka by Surjewala who was appointed as the in-charge of party affairs.
