Mysuru: Is there more than what meets the eye to the discontent brewing in Congress over Chief Minister Siddharamaiah contesting both from Chamundeshwari in Mysuru and Badami in Bagalkot District? If Siddharamaiah’s behaviour is taken into consideration, it looks like he is upset with the party High Command for not allowing him to contest from both the constituencies.
KPCC President Dr. G. Parameshwara and AICC General Secretary K.C. Venugopal met the CM last evening, at Hotel Southern Star (after Siddharamaiah finished his campaigning in Varuna) and held closed-door meeting with him regarding his contesting from two seats. Sources said that the CM, after the meeting, walked away in a huff without even looking at the reporters who were waiting to speak to him.
