MANGALORE, Jul 11 (The Hindu): Veteran Congress leader B. Janardhana Poojary said on Saturday that Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa had failed to lead the Legislative Assembly in a disciplined manner.
Referring to Friday's incidents in the Assembly, he told presspersons here that the Chief Minister had lost control of his party MLAs.
“The Chief Minister should have displayed extreme patience. He should be a model to others. It is his duty to be patient even if the Opposition members provoke him and criticise the Government,” he said. Mr. Poojary alleged that the Chief Minister had bowed to the “egoistic pressures” of “mining lords”.
Mr. Poojary said that Minister for Tourism and Infrastructure Development G. Janardhan Reddy should be arrested because the court had served eight warrants, including some non-bailable ones, against him.
Mr. Reddy had used unparliamentary language in the Assembly on Friday, he said.
