A significant shift occurred in the Karnataka Congress with the appointment of B.K. Hariprasad as the President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), replacing D.K. Shivakumar. The decision was made by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal.
Hariprasad, a veteran Congress leader known for his vocal criticism of Hindutva organizations and the BJP leadership, has been appointed to lead the KPCC immediately. He has been actively involved in state politics and has held various key positions within the AICC.
Having served as a Member of the Rajya Sabha and belonging to the Billava community, Hariprasad is a prominent figure in Karnataka politics. Despite facing controversies in the past, including remarks on the Pulwama attack in 2019, he continues to play a significant role within the Congress party.
