Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar has set an ambitious goal: overturn a four-decade-old trend where the Congress party has consistently lost in the state during general elections. Since 1984, the Congress has failed to secure a majority in Karnataka in every Lok Sabha election, despite being a major political force in the state. Shivakumar, a senior leader known for his organizational skills, has now vowed to break this pattern within the next two years, setting the stage for a high-stakes political battle ahead of the 2024 general elections.
