Chitradurga: Senior BJP legislator G H Thippareddy on Friday asserted that several party legislators in the party were not happy with the working of the state government under CM BS Yediyurappa in the state.
Addressing a press conference in the city on Friday, the legislator said that the BJP high command should deal with the growing dissent within the party against the working of the government under CM Yediyurappa.
“Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is striving hard at his work, but needs to give Cabinet positions to senior legislators and party leaders if his work should get empowered,” suggested Thippareddy, adding that, if not, the party might not come back to power in the state.
“The government has failed to satisfy the needs of the districts. A backward district like Chitradurga is being constantly neglected by the government. The Upper Bhadra Project is working at a snail’s speed. No grants have been reserved in the budget for the district. Also, the same people are being appointed as district in-charge ministers,” he said expressing disappointment.
Expressing dissatisfaction with District In-charge Minister B Sriramulu, Thippareddy said that the minister visits the district and chairs KDP meetings barely twice a year.
