Former Chief Minister and JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy on Wednesday called upon the Congress government in the State to take the issues of dissatisfaction among the ruling party MLAs seriously.
When his attention was drawn to the letter written by Aland MLA B.R. Patil to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah threatening to abstain from attending the upcoming Legislature Session in Belagavi if the government does not order a probe into the corruption charges reportedly levelled against him by Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda in last Assembly session in Bengaluru, Mr. Kumaraswamy said “it was not a good development”.
Recalling that complaints of dissatisfaction by ruling MLAs began soon after the government was formed, the JD(S) leader cited the examples of hurt expressed by senior ruling party MLAs like Basavaraj Raya Reddy, Shyamanur Shivashankarappa, and B.R. Patil.
