Congress expels 6 workers for raising slogans against Siddaramaiah

Mysuru: The Congress party expelled six of its workers for raising slogans against former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently

The decision to expel the workers is considered by many as a move to appease Siddaramaiah, who is reportedly miffed with MLA Tanveer Sait over the recent Mysuru mayoral polls. However, most city Congress committee members remained tight-lipped about the expulsion.

The clash within the Congress came to the fore after the mayoral polls last month, as Congress sacrificed the mayor’s post to the JDS, its alliance partner in the corporation. While JDS bagged the mayoral post, Congress settled for the deputy mayor’s post.
