Madikeri: A courtesy meeting between Chief Minister Siddharamaiah and Senior JD(S) leader M.C. Nanaiah, who has adopted a politically neutral stand, has given rise to numerous speculation in this tiny coffee district of Kodagu. The meeting took place at Nanaiah’s house yesterday and the CM took time to meet the veteran politician and former Minister amidst his busy schedule where he launched a slew of development projects.
Yesterday, Nanaiah’s supporters had called a meeting at Hotel Valley View and discussed how their leader has been sidelined by JD(S). Some of the members expressed their dissatisfaction and openly expressed their desire to join Congress. The meeting was called by S.I. Muneer Ahmed, a close aide of M.C. Nanaiah.
