As many Congress legislators have expressed concern over non-implementation of development works in their constituencies, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has called a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) on Thursday at a private hotel in Bengaluru to hear their grievances.
During the recently concluded Budget session of the State legislature, many party MLAs and MLCs had complained that they had not been able to get their work done in their constituencies owing to alleged non-cooperation of Ministers. MLAs have reportedly complained about stoppage of many ongoing works related to roads, community and school buildings, bridges, drinking water schemes, housing, and release of small amounts of funds for mitigating shortage of drinking water.
Sources in the party said AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, and Leader of the House in the Legislative Council N.S. Boseraju would participate in the meeting to listen to grievances of legislators on the functioning of the government, particularly Ministers and party office-bearers.
