Bengaluru: In a dramatic development, KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao threatened to resign to his post saying no one is listening to him. Meanwhile, a meeting convened by him ended in chaos with the party leader, former union minister KH Muniyappa shedding tears, alleging that ex-CM Siddaramaiah addressed him using singular word.
All started with Dinesh Gundurao calling a meeting of the party leaders to discuss the party’s strategy for the upcoming by-election in 15 assembly constituencies. Former DCM Dr G Parameshwar skipped the meeting saying he is on Chikkamagaluru tour. A few leaders including BK Hariprasad took a dig at Dinesh Gundurao saying he is responsible for Parameshwar’s decision to skip the meeting.
Upset by this, Dinesh Gundurao offered the resignation. As the meeting started, KH Muniyappa took a dig at Siddaramaiah for siding with former speaker KR Ramesh Kumar saying he was behind his defeat in Kolar. Upset by this allegation Siddaramaiah spoke to him using singular word, which resulted in Muniyappa crying.
Chaos prevailed as leaders divided into two groups and started accusing each other for the party’s poor performance in the Lok sabha election. Later, the meeting was adjourned.
