The suicide attempt by a KSRTC staffer on his being transferred from Nagamangala in Mandya district has taken a political turn with the former Chief Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy seeking the dismissal of Mandya district in charge Minister N. Cheluvayaswamy.
He also accused the Congress of encouraging ‘’transfer business’’ and ‘’politics of hate’’ within a month of assuming power.
Mr. Kumaraswamy was in the city to inquire about the health of the KSRTC staff Jagadish, who was shifted to a private hospital in the city for treatment and his condition is said to be serious.
