Hold party legislators’ meeting, K’taka BJP leader to state chief

Bengaluru, Dec 2 : Expressing concern over ministers, legislators and party leaders making public statements, Karnataka BJP chief whip in Legislative Assembly V. Sunil Kumar on Wednesday wrote a letter to party state unit president Nalin Kumar Kateel demanding to convene legislators’ meeting to discuss developments concerning cabinet expansion and appointments to boards.
In his letter written on December 1, Kumar stated that our party being a disciplined cadre based party cannot afford to behave like any other party.
“Several leaders are making statements on the street. This is not only bringing disrepute to our party but also those who have toiled hard till date are feeling bad about recent developments. Therefore, as the state unit president, you must convene legislators meetings where people like us who have remained steadfast with the party ideology need express our feelings within the party forum,” he said.
He also stated that several legislators need to express their feelings about recent developments such as appointments to boards and cabinet expansion.
He added that without differentiating between the old or newcomers, the party’s disciplinary framework must be made loud and clear to everyone.
“I am confident that you will do that immediately,” he asserted in his letter to Kateel.
