Bengaluru: The Congress intends to quell dissidence in Karnataka’s districts with a view to making the party battle-ready before Assembly elections next year.
“To contain and settle the issues at local level, we plan to form co-ordination committees with a AICC member chairing it,” said the Congress General Secretary in charge of Karnataka, KC Venugopal.
“I have been able to sort out differences that has divided the party at many levels,” he added.
Venugopal warned that the party will take strict action against those who air their grievances in public. Indiscipline will not be tolerated in future. No leader should make any statement against the leadership or the party. Problems, if any, should be reported to us. We are here to find solutions,” he said.
However, he did not give a clear reply to a query as to why the party has been hesitant in taking action against leaders like A H Vishwanath and Janardhana Poojary who had been extremely critical of Siddaramaiah’s style of functioning.
