Even though the State government has recommended the name of the former Enforcement Directorate officer H.P. Sudham Das for the Legislative Council seat under the nomination category, four senior Dalit Ministers have strongly objected to his nomination to the Upper House.
‘Contribution nil’
Home Minister G. Parameshwara, Social Welfare Minister H.C. Mahadevappa, Food and Civil Supplies Minister K.H. Muniyappa, and Minister for Excise R.B. Thimmapur have written to Congress president M. Mallikarjun Kharge and said, “Mr. Das’s contribution to the Congress is nil” and “requested to consider personalities who have relentlessly worked for decades in the party and loyal soldiers of the party”.
