Congressmen want collective leadership to arrest rot in party

Those unhappy with the Siddaramaiah-Dinesh leadership said the dockets containing the names of the candidates for the 15 assembly constituencies were empty. They questioned this 'top-secret' attitude in which KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao was withholding the names of candidates and complained that they had not been consulted. Observers said this is one of the last states where Congress has a strong foothold but unfortunately the leadership isn't doing enough. There is also a lot of anger against the trio - KC Venugopal, Siddaramaiah and Dinesh Gundu Rao. One may recall that Roshan Baig had ridiculed all the three and even paid a price for it. Now, it is former railway minister KH Muniyappa who is openly criticising the three biggies. Not surprisingly, Congress worker Qayyum filed a complaint against Muniyappa accusing him of being responsible for the defeat of party candidates in the assembly polls. B K Hariprasad is another Congressman who has openly challenged the troika. Joining him and Muniyappa are more leaders who are now demanding more transparency and collective leadership. Congress leaders are challenging the troika saying they have antagonised two major communities in the state and now only one small section of the backwards support the Congress.
