Congress leader B K Hariprasad's veiled dig at Karnataka CM sparks disquiet within ruling party

Senior Congress leader B K Hariprasad’s statements regarding ministerial and chief ministerial posts, along with his veiled dig at Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seems to have created a sense of unease within the ruling party in Karnataka.

The MLC, who is said to be sulking for sometime now over not being inducted into Karnataka cabinet, was speaking at a meeting of Ediga, Billava, Namdhari and Deevara communities on Friday.

While the Chief Minister did not comment on Hariprasad’s statements, a few of his cabinet colleagues seemed unsure about how to react.
