Second-rung Congress leaders demand their share of power


Bangalore, Jun 29 (DHNS) : The second-rung leaders and workers of State Congress party on Saturday demanded that the party leadership should give them their share of power by nominating them to various boards, corporations and district and taluk level committees of the State government.
 
Though the party came to power over a year ago, nominations to boards and corporations have not been done. 

Only senior leaders have managed to get important positions. 








The party remembers the workers only at the time of elections, several of the second-rung leaders learnt to have complained at a State-level delegates’ meeting held at the Palace Grounds.

Senior leaders including AICC general secretary in charge of Karnataka Digvijay Singh, Congress leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, KPCC chief G Parameshwara, ministers and MLAs participated in the two-day meeting aimed at examining reasons for the party’s defeat in the Lok Sabha polls and chalking out plans to strengthen it. 

Participants were given opportunity to suggest ways to strengthen the party at the meeting, which was a closed-door affair. 

The meeting will continue on Sunday. Prominently, women leaders are learnt to have demanded adequate representation to them in boards and corporations. 

Though the party leadership promised to give 50 per cent reservation to women in State Assemblies and Parliament, it has failed to implement it. 

Proper representation was not given to fairer sex in the recently held elections to Upper Houses of State legislature and Parliament, they complained.

They attributed the party not getting lead in about 150 Assembly constituencies in the Lok Sabha polls to number of reasons, including loyal workers not getting recognition, district in charge ministers not interacting with party workers and taking decisions on the basis of caste considerations.

As far as the party government is concerned, there was not much of dissatisfaction among the delegates. Food and Civil Supplies Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao gave a presentation on the achievements of his department in the last one year. 

Agriculture Minister Krishna Byre Gowda and Education Minister Kimmane Ratnakar are scheduled to give a presentation of their departments on Sunday.
 
Earlier, addressing the meeting, Digvijay Singh hinted at bring in changes in party organisation.

Party vice president Rahul Gandhi has strengthened the youth Congress by conducting organisational elections to the youth wing. Similar exercise has to be done at the State level.

Kharge compared Digvijay Singh, Siddaramaiah and Parameshwara to Brahma, Vishnu  and Maheshwara and asked the party leaders to build the party under their leadership

    Mr. Jeevan never dream of BJP coming back to power in Karnataka. its history now. it was Modi which swept india. we too supported it as every one was fed up with UPA's corruption rule. but with Modi in then helm now no good signs are showing up. in karnataka experiment with BJP is over. with group of yeddi, ramulu etc are back, kannadigas will not make a mistake again. Siddaramayya is far far better than any one at present scenario. so i can just say its ur bad luck.

    Siddu has 'Janatised' Congress in the state! Not only plum posts & corporations heads given to ex-socialites for JD, BJP,JD(U), Lok Shakti & JD(S)lot of favourism is being made to new converts in Congress ignoring grass root Congressmen & old leaders. Its only a matter of time before the rug is pulled out from Siddu's feet by the powerful lobby of DKS, Kharge, Paramu et al..

    Siddu is living like Julius Ceaser, eating drinking & making merry wheras the state of economics in Karnataka is pretty bad- No development at all, only minority appeasement & fraudulent schemes. Growth of Bangalore has been totally ignored & no wonder Congress lost badly in the recent LS Elections! It would have won only 7 seats if you were to look at 2 narrow wins had moved towards BJP (Chikkabalapura & Chitradurga)

    Also there was no positive mandate for Congress, they won because opposition split!!

    All knives will be now out & Siddu is actually living on rajors edge! Nataka will now begin in Karnataka!!
