Congress Takes Strong Action Against Mallanna
The notice specifically highlighted Mallanna‘s recent behavior, which included his public protest against the state government’s caste survey. The party accused him of making inappropriate comments against the leadership, which prompted them to take swift action.

Timeline for Response
The show cause notice stated that Mallanna’s explanation should be submitted to the party by February 12, 2025. Failure to respond within the given timeframe would result in the initiation of disciplinary measures in accordance with party norms.
This move comes as the Congress party seeks to maintain unity and discipline among its members, especially ahead of upcoming elections and political challenges in the state.
Further Action Likely Pending Response
With the clock ticking on the response deadline, all eyes will be on whether Mallanna addresses the allegations and offers a satisfactory explanation, or if the party will take more severe steps in line with its internal guidelines.
