A Karnataka Congress MLA has urged the party to merge its Karnataka unit with the Andhra Pradesh unit.
In a recent statement, a member of the Karnataka unit of the Indian National Congress has called for the party to merge its Karnataka operations with the Andhra Pradesh unit. The move, which has not yet been formally approved, seeks to streamline party activities across the two southern states.
The MLA, whose identity has not been disclosed in the brief report, said the merger would help consolidate resources and present a united front in upcoming elections. He also highlighted the need for stronger coordination between the state parties.
The Congress leadership has not yet responded to the request, and no official announcement has been made. Observers note that such a merger would be unprecedented and could reshape the party’s structure in the region.
