Onus on Siddaramaiah
After holding the meeting, Venugopal entrusted the responsibility of solving the present crises in the Congress to Siddaramaiah and he also asked Siddaramaiah to find a solution to Jarkiholi brothers issue, it is said.
In order to destabilise the Coalition government, the BJP leaders have approached many Congress MLAs due to which confusion cropped up in the Congress. So, Venugopal has asked Siddaramaiah to convince the dissident MLAs, it is said.
The leaders also discussed the issues like preparing counter strategies to the BJP’s Operation Lotus plan, and actions to be taken against misusing central investigating agencies by the central government, and by-election to the MLC seats, it is said.
As Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar did not turn up to the home of Siddaramaiah on Sunday, Venugopal called him over phone and asked him to join them, sources said.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
