The first meeting of the council will be held on the premises of the KPCC office in Bengaluru on July 15.

Although Siddaramaiah is reluctant to enter national politics, the Congress high command has elevated him to serve at the national level, projecting the AHINDA (a Kannada acronym for Alpasankhyataru or minorities, Hindulidavaru or backward classes, and Dalitaru or Dalits) leader as the party's face of the Backward Classes.
