Karnataka Congress Chief DKS Courts Coastal Voters by Embracing Tulu Language
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar is making a strategic push in the BJP's coastal stronghold by engaging with voters in Tulu, the regional language spoken widely along the Karnataka coast. The move is seen as an attempt to build cultural connect with the local population in districts like Dakshina Kannada and Udupi, which have long been dominated by the BJP. By adopting the linguistic approach, Congress aims to chip away at the saffron party's deep-rooted influence in the region. The strategy reflects a broader effort by the Congress to expand its footprint beyond its traditional support bases ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
