Bengaluru, Nov 9 (DHNS): The KPCC office-bearers on Tuesday are learnt to have demanded that disciplinary action should be initiated against party leader C M Ibrahim for indulging in “anti-party” activities.
The office-bearers are learnt to have taken exception to Ibrahim’s recent comments against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and heaping praise on JD(S) national president H D Deve Gowda. They demanded that Ibrahim should be immediately sacked from the post of vice-chairman of the State Planning Board, besides expelling him from the party.
KPCC president G Parameshwara had convened the office-bearers’ meeting to chalk out a plan for former prime minister Indira Gandhi’s birth centenary celebrations on November 19. KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao was also present in the meeting. Parameshwara, it is learnt, assured the members that he will take appropriate action after consulting the chief minister.
Besides, many office-bearers raised objections against the party’s decision to revoke suspension of K Marigowda, controversial Congress leader of Mysuru and appointment of activist Nagalakshmi Bai as chairperson of the State Women’s Commission.
Marigowda has done a lot of damage to the party by publicly abusing an IAS officer and the then Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru district C Shikha, many office-bearers are learnt to have said.
