Congress regime to hold bash in Hospete to mark 2-year completion on May 20
The
Congress regime
has planned a big bash at Hospete in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region on Tuesday to mark completion of two years, which close followers of the chief minister called as
Siddaramaiah fest
2.O.
AICC President Mallikarjuna Kharge and
Rahul Gandhi
are expected to take part in the event where the government plans to give
land ownership title-deeds
to one lakh beneficiaries and promote Karnataka's model of governance as the best welfare-focused one.
There are indications that Siddaramaiah would be the centre of attraction at the bash that is being overseen by his followers from the minorities, backward classes and Dalit (Ahinda) bloc. Davanagere in central Karnataka hosted the first edition of Siddaramaiah fest (Siddaramotsava) in August 2022 when he completed 75 years which set the stage for the party's return to power in the assembly polls in May 2023.

The CM visited the venue on Friday and assessed the arrangements. He has said he expected three lakh people to participate. The party has made elaborate arrangements for parking of vehicles and with 500 food counters.
Hospete in Vijayanagar district is part of the Hyderabad-Karnataka region where the Congress has a formidable presence and where the party won all five seats in the Lok Sabha elections, last year. The party hopes to ride on the success of the event for the forthcoming
panchayat elections

The mega show comes amid speculations that Siddaramaiah may step aside early next year after probably breaking the late D Devaraj Urs's number of days as chief minister. The CM will turn 80 in two years.
While Deputy CM DK Shivakumar is the front runner, patiently waiting to succeed Siddaramaiah, there are other senior leaders out to play spoilsport. A section of CM's loyalist cabinet colleagues is lobbying hard to either keep Siddaramaiah for a full five-year term or get one of his own camp followers as his successor. Some of them are also trying to emerge as deputy CMs in the event Siddaramaiah makes way for a new leader by often saying that they are also in the CM's race.
