“If any Congress MLA expresses unhappiness publicly, the party will take action against them without any hesitation,” said AICC general secretary in charge of Karnataka K.C. Venugopal. He was speaking in the national capital after a meeting with veteran Congress leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge. Meanwhile, Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah is said to have spoken to Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, who is away in the U.S., over the developments.
Already, the Congress has suspended Roshan Baig, MLA, and issued show-cause notice to Bheema Naik, MLA, for allegedly criticising the party leaders and Minister P.T. Parameshwar Naik, respectively.
Mr. Venugopal, who called on Mr. Kharge to discuss the political developments in the State, insisted there was no threat to the stability of the Kumaraswamy government and that it would complete its full five-year term. “If one or two people quit, we will deal with it legally,” he said. He added that the BJP was threatening to destabilise the government every day, but it would not work.
