Youth Congress brawl: Notices issued

Bengaluru: Six office-bearers of the Karnataka Youth Congress have been issued show-cause notices a day after a brawl inside the party’s office was caught on camera.

The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) has issued notices to its state unit office-bearers Deepika Reddy, Nikhil Kondajji, Prasanth, Nagesh, Govardhan and Sandeep, sources said. They have been asked to explain themselves. A brawl broke out among Karnataka Youth Congress workers on Monday.

The bone of contention was Karnataka Youth Congress president H S Manjunatha’s decision to keep ‘on hold’ the position of over a dozen office-bearers, citing ‘inactive participation’ in organisational activities. Among those put on hold was Deepika Reddy, Manjunatha’s rival.
