State govt. nominates new chief to SUDA in Shivamogga

On Thursday, the State government nominated Congress leader C.G. Madhusudan as the new chairperson of the Shivamogga-Bhadravathi Urban Development Authority (SUDA). This move succeeded H.S. Sundaresh, who was recently accused by several party leaders, including School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa, of making allegations against them.

Sundaresh, who recently assumed the role of SUDA chairperson in February 2024, held a press conference in Shivamogga, where he made critical statements against the Congress leaders, using harsh language, which led to the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee issuing a notice to him on September 24, demanding a response within seven days.

Madhusudan, a seasoned Congress member and office-bearer of the Youth Congress, took charge of his new position in the afternoon, having been associated with the party for years.
