Congress has intensified efforts to win over disgruntled legislators ahead of the upcoming Monsoon Session, according to reports. The party is reportedly reaching out to members of legislative assemblies who have expressed dissatisfaction over being excluded from the Cabinet. These lawmakers, who have not been invited to join the government, may be targeted with incentives such as party positions or roles in corporate boards, sources say.
The outreach comes amid growing tensions within the ruling party as it prepares for the session. Several MLAs have reportedly voiced concerns over their lack of representation in key decision-making roles. The strategy aims to retain their support and ensure smoother functioning of the legislative agenda.
The move highlights the internal dynamics of the party as it navigates political challenges. While the exact number of affected legislators remains unclear, the focus on reconciliation suggests a strategic shift to maintain stability ahead of the session. (thehindu.com)
