Renukacharya was issued a notice last week by Gowda for holding a meeting with dissident MLAs.
Renukacharya on Wednesday in Bangalore said that Gowda and he had an open talk to clear the air about a meeting that he had with party dissidents.
He reiterated that he was not involved in any anti-party or anti-government activities and insisted that “nobody was greater than the party.”
The Honnali MLA added that he had submitted a detailed explanation to Gowda and called the meeting a gathering of “friends.”
Gowda said he would sent the report to the party disciplinary committee in New Delhi. A final decision would be taken after the by-polls.
