Mangalore, Jun 2: The dissidence within the Dakshina Kannada Congress Committee came into the open at the introspection meet organized by the party here on Sunday May 31.
Both former Member of Parliament Vinay Kumar Sorake and party leader P V Mohan are understood to have launched a diatribe against district Congress Committee president Ramanath Rai for the defeat of party candidate in the Lok Sabha constituency, B Janardhan Poojary. Both the leaders pointed fingers at Rai and asked him to shoulder the entire responsibility for the party's debacle.
They said, all the block presidents of the party had jointly conveyed their unanimous support for the candidature of Janardhjn Poojary, to party general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad, under the leadership of Ramanath Rai. Their main ire was at the lack of enthusiasm and plan of action on the part of the district leadership to ensure that Poojary wins this Lok sabha seat. The meeting is understood to have stretched to over three hours.
