The reconstitution of KPCC after a gap of 11 years has created an upheaval in the party. Some of the leaders had even threatened to quit. Senior leaders including Singh, Mallikharjuna Kharge, Veerappa Moily, B K Hari Prasad and Siddaramaiah were unhappy with the new State Congress team.
This prompted the party high command to summon KPCC chief G Parameshwara and Siddaramaiah to Delhi on Tuesday.
