Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday sought to play down the discontent over portfolio allocation in the newly formed Congress government, expressing confidence that Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and the party leadership would resolve issues raised by senior leaders Ramalinga Reddy and K H Muniyappa.
Parameshwara's remarks came amid efforts by the Congress leadership to contain discontent after Reddy announced his resignation from the Cabinet over portfolio allocation and Muniyappa publicly voiced dissatisfaction over the allocation of departments.
