JOIN USVarious factions in the ruling party appear to be gradually growing in strength. A group of Congress legislators who are disgruntled with the Siddaramaiah government are likely to hold a meeting on Wednesday to chalk out a future course of action.
The legislators are planning to meet the party high command in Delhi in the first week of April to complain against the “misadministration” of the party government. They believe that the party’s image has taken a beating over the last few months and fear that the Congress may not come back to power in the next Assembly polls if the government fails to mend its ways.
But, sources in the party said that the dissatisfied legislators were looking for a leader who could present their case to the party leadership in Delhi. None of these legislators are ready to come on record. A section of party leaders, however, believe that these MLAs are only trying to get a ministerial berth and that they had no intention to create any problem to the government.
The sources said another faction of legislators, who are the staunch followers of Siddaramaiah, may hold a show-of-strength meeting in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
