Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, during his meeting with Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy, DK Shivakumar, on Tuesday, asked the two leaders to work together and run the state government in coordination, Congress sources said on Tuesday. In wake of reports of `factionalism` within the state unit of Congress, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha emphasised the need to strengthen the party.
He also asked the leaders to look at the reasons behind the party`s performance in Karnataka in the recent Lok Sabha elections, and why it failed to win as many seats as it was expecting and work in that direction. Siddarmaiah and DK Shivakumar met Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party general secretaries; Randeep Surjewala and KC Venugopal at Kharge`s residence in the national capital on Tuesday.
