Bengaluru, Jul 18: Chief minister Siddaramaiah has tried to put a full stop to the complaints being heard from some Congress leaders on the appointment of new KPCC officer-bearers. He has asked them not to comment on the issue in public.

Siddaramaiah was addressing the leaders during the Congress legislature party meeting held at the Vidhana Soudha on Monday, July 17.

“The party high command had finalized the list of office-bearers. If necessary, KPCC president G Parameshwara will look into the list. Congress legislators should focus on preparations for the next elections,” he told them.

The Congress high command recently released a 171-member office-bearers’ list, as part of the preparations for the next Assembly elections. Many Congress leaders are unhappy about the choice of office-bearers. Some of them had planned to express their ire at the legislature party meeting. Senior leader K H Muniyappa had reportedly expressed his dissatisfaction over what he termed the inadequate representation given to SC (left) or Madiga community.

KPCC is likely to recommend revision of the list to the high command, said some Congress sources.
