The election committee of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) held its meeting on Friday on selection of candidates for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections and senior leaders are believed to have expressed displeasure on selection of probable candidates by Ministers, who are appointed as coordinators for 28 constituencies in the State.
Sources said the Ministers have been told to provide detailed explanation on selection of probable candidates by Saturday evening. If Ministers fail to provide a convincing explanation, the party decided to hold another round of discussion with MLAs, district and block-level leaders to select candidates, sources said.
With regard to fielding of Ministers in the elections, the committee has authorised the screening committee of the AICC to take a final decision.
