On May 20, 2026, the Congress party will host a major convention in Tumakuru, Karnataka, to commemorate three years of governance. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is set to launch various projects and distribute land title deeds to approximately 135,000 beneficiaries. This event is not only a celebration but also a strategic move amid speculation about potential leadership changes within the party. Senior Congress leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Karnataka in charge Randeep Singh Surjewala, are anticipated to attend. Home Minister G. Parameshwara, who oversees the district, mentioned that more than 200,000 party workers are expected to participate, with funding sourced from mining royalty revenues in the area. The convention will also feature an exhibition highlighting government projects and welfare programs, aiming to mobilize support for the Congress's five flagship guarantee schemes. Discussions will focus on the developmental needs of Tumakuru, a rapidly growing educational and industrial hub located about 70 km from Bengaluru.
