The Congress party’s co-ordination committee headed by Digvijay Singh is likely to hold its first meeting in the third week of October. The six-member committee was constituted by the AICC to ensure good working relation between the government headed by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the party.

When Singh visited Bangalore during the party’s rally in Mandya, a good number of party workers pressured him to appoint chairpersons and members of various boards and corporations.  Their argument was that each minister was now heading not less than four to five boards and corporations.
