KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar on Friday issued a stern warning to party legislators and leaders that they would be “rested” in the coming Legislative Assembly elections if they do not work and mobilise people in support of the ‘Bharat Jodo yatra’ launched by Rahul Gandhi, MP.
Mr. Shivakumar said some legislators, including former Minister and MLA R.V. Deshpande, have refused to send party workers to the yatra which will enter Karnataka on September 30. All leaders who refused to do party work during the yatra would not be given a ticket to contest 2023 Assembly elections, Mr. Shivakumar warned.
Speaking at a meeting organised to make preparations for the ‘Bharat Jodo yatra’ here, Mr. Shivakumar is learnt to have taken a dig at the supporters of former Chief Minister SIddaramaiah and said that there are some legislators in the party “who are not ready for a day’s work.”
