Senior leader of the Congress and Minister for Food and Civil Supplies K.H. Muniyappa said that instead of fielding candidates from outside in Kolar and Bagalkot constituencies, the party should have set up a core committee for discussing the pros and the cons of each candidate before announcing the list of candidates.
Mr. Muniyappa has been sulking after the party denied ticket to his son-in-law Chikka Peddanna to contest from Kolar reserved constituency in the Lok Sabha election on April 26.
The party has fielded K.V. Gowtham, president of the Bengaluru Central District Congress Committee.
