- Yogeesh, the newly appointed president of the Shivamogga district Congress unit, has denied the existence of factional politics in the district unit.
- Yogeesh stated at a press conference in Shivamogga on Friday that any factionalism would not be accepted by the party high command.
- Journalists had asked about reported factionalism in Thirthahalli and Shikaripura, and Yogeesh responded that only natural differences of opinion and multiple aspirants for posts exist, which do not break unity.
- The new district president said strengthening the party organisation is the first priority, with preparations for local body elections beginning now.
- The statement matters because it signals the new leadership's effort to present a united Congress ahead of upcoming local body polls in the district.
