Fresh trouble for Cong in KTK as some leaders question

In fresh trouble for the Congress in Karnataka, some senior leaders have questioned former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's and state party chief Dinesh Gundu Rao's "unilateral" style of functioning.

An unperturbed Rao on Friday said he will remain in the post till the party asks him to step down.

"Some people politically are engaging in a false campaign, I don't pay heed to it. Until high command asks me to stay in the post I will remain. If high command asks me to go I will go," Rao told reporters here.

"Just because someone asked I will not resign. No one has asked for it also. I will work in the party's interest."
According to a top party functionary, Gundu Rao and Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah were in the line of fire at the meeting from B K Hariprasad and K H Muniyappa, who took exception at not being consulted during candidates' selection process, and being called after names were "mostly finalised."
Responding to a question about reports that a few Congress Rajya Sabha members from state were writing to the high command on change in leadership, including CLP leader and PCC presidents, Rao said he was not aware of such things and termed it "speculative."
We have formed a fact finding committee, it will submit report on October 2, based on it we will take action after inquiry."
