As the public image of the Congress government in Karnataka appears to be getting dented following controversial remarks by Ministers and legislators on the tenure of the Chief Minister and the Opposition BJP levelling allegations of corruption, AICC general secretaries Randeep Singh Surjewala and K.C. Venugopal huddled together with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and KPCC president and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Wednesday and told all leaders not to cross the ‘Lakshman rekha’ of the party.
Briefing on the two-hour-long discussions on the party matters, Mr. Surjewala said “appropriate action” would be taken against leaders, MLAs, and Ministers if they make public statements on matters related to the party and the government.
