Congress leader Zameer Ahmed Khan, who is reportedly eyeing the post of Deputy Chief Minister, has been accused of engaging in anti-party activities during the Davangere South constituency by-election. An audio clip allegedly linked to the issue has gone viral on social media, triggering widespread political debate.
The clip surfaced just minutes before Chief Minister-designate DK Shivakumar and caretaker Chief Minister Siddaramaiah were scheduled to leave for New Delhi to discuss cabinet formation, further intensifying the controversy.
The audio is said to show Zameer Ahmed Khan in conversation with Mohammad Siraj, a Davangere Congress leader and Director of the Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation. The recording is currently circulating widely on social media and has become the centre of political discussion within the party.
