A massive strategic move for the Congress party unfolded in Dharwad district as 30 guntas of land in Kusugal was officially registered for a new Congress Bhavan. We saw high-ranking party leaders gather to finalize the paperwork, marking a critical step toward DCM D.K. Shivakumar’s ambitious vision of building 100 dedicated party offices across the state of Karnataka on February 26, 2026.
The deal is finally sealed. Our sources confirmed that the Congress Bhavan Trust has formally taken ownership of the prime property to establish a permanent base for political and social operations in the Hubballi-Dharwad region.
Is this the spark for the 100-office dream?
DCM D.K. Shivakumar has been pushing for a dedicated “Congress Bhavan” in every major segment to solidify the party’s grassroots presence. We talked to officials who noted that the Kusugal project is a primary milestone for this statewide industrial-scale rollout of party infrastructure.
MLA N.H. Konareddy played a massive role in this victory. Our sources confirmed that the MLA showed “a big heart” by facilitating the land across three different spots, earning him a 100% vote of thanks from the trust members for his immense cooperation.
Who stood as witness to the historic registration?
The heavy hitters of the district were out in force. According to local party reports and the official trust update https://karnataka.gov.in/.
We saw Salim Ahmed, Chief Whip of the Legislative Council, leading the delegation alongside Trust Treasurer Vinay Kartik and Hubballi District President Altaf Halur. One specific detail stood out: the entire Dharwad District leadership, including Anil Patil and KPCC General Secretary Nagaraj Gauri, stood as legal witnesses to the landmark filing.
A permanent footprint is now reality. With the 30 guntas safely in the party’s name, the Hubballi-Dharwad twin cities are set to become the central command hub for all future Congress activities in North Karnataka.
