# Tanveer Sait supporters stage mega protest in Mysuru 2026-08-09T17:49:53+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet According to Deccan Herald, supporters of senior Congress leader Tanveer Sait staged a mega protest in Mysuru on Tuesday, venting their disappointment over his omission from the cabinet expansion. Similar protests have occurred in other parts of Karnataka. Sait’s loyalists blocked traffic and raised slogans, demanding that the party high command give him a ministerial berth. The Congress leadership has not yet responded formally to the agitation, which underscores growing factional tensions within the Karnataka unit. Sait, a former minister and influential leader in the minority community, was widely expected to be inducted. His supporters argue that the party ignored his contributions and have threatened to intensify protests if their demand is not met. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Tags: Cabinet expansion, factionalism, Karnataka Congress, Mysuru protest, Tanveer Sait Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/tanveer-sait-supporters-stage-mega-protest-in-mysuru/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
