Notices to Tejaswini, Manjunath

KPCC President R V Deshpande on Thursday said the duo have been directed to file their replies to the showcause notices at the earliest, failing which action will be taken against them.

Tejaswini Gowda and Manjunath had sought the resignations of KPCC Working President D K Shivakumar and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah claiming they were responsible for the defeat of the party candidates in the Council polls in Bangalore rural and Mysore respectively.

While Manjunath was himself the candidate in Mysore, S Ravi, a cousin of Shivakumar had contested from Bangalore rural.
