Senior Congress leader and MLC B.K. Hariprasad, who has been sulking over the denial of a ministerial berth in the Siddaramaiah government, on Thursday called on Home Minister G. Parameshwara and discussed political developments in the party.
On Wednesday, Mr. Hariprasad met KPCC president and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Food and Civil Supplies Minister K.H. Muniyappa and reportedly expressed his anguish over the denial of a ministerial post.
The four-time Rajya Sabha member, former Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, and general secretary of the party for more than a decade, Mr. Hariprasad has been denied the Cabinet berth despite strong recommendations for his induction in the Ministry from former AICC presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, sources said.
