Mangalore, May 15: Caste based lobbying has started within Dakshina Kannada Congress circle to get the posts of Chairmen and Presidents to various Boards, Corporations and Authorities.
During the BJP rule Fisheries Development Corporation, Cashew Development Corporation, Forest Development Corporation, Minority Welfare Board, Industries and Investment Corporation and Coastal Development Authority were headed by leaders from DK district.
With the Congress coming to power, all the chiefs of these bodies resigned to make way for new faces. Now, a sense of intense lobbying has started in the Congress circle to bag the vacant positions and in this regard, the aspirants are seen convincing the influential leaders to moot their names.
Siddaramaiah originally belonged to the Janata Parivar and many of his Janata Parivar counterparts joined the Congress along with him. Making use of this, all attempts are being made to draw the attention of the CM. However, the reaction of the traditional congressmen to this is going to be worth watching.
Meanwhile the ones who were denied tickets for the assembly polls were pacified saying that they will be given suitable responsibilities in future.
The denied candidates are now thinking that they might be given one authority or board or corporation as a reward for their patience. All in all the aspirations, expectations and spirits are really high in the Congress circle.
