JOIN US Congress parliamentarians from Karnataka, who had earlier criticised Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s style of functioning, are now training their guns on some of his Cabinet colleagues.
During a meeting of the MPs convened by Siddaramaiah in the national capital on Thursday, some of them said though they could get an appointment with the Union ministers to discuss some of the projects, the state minister were not all that accommodative.
The MPs, led by Karnataka MPs Forum convenor D K Suresh, listed out their grouses, including the ministers ignoring their requests for taking up developmental works in their constituencies and not being invited to official programmes.
MPs Dhruvanarayana, Muddahanume Gowda, B N Chandrappa and B V Nayak have urged the chief minister to advise his Cabinet colleagues in this regard. The chief minister promised to talk to all the ministers and direct them to take up the development works suggested by the MPs on a priority basis. He said he would convene a meeting of the MPs in Bengaluru soon.
