Five legislators likely to resign protesting against candidature for K.H.Muniyappa’s son-in-law

KOLAR: Utter chaos prevailed in Kolar, as three Congress legislators and two Congress MLCs decided to submit their resignation as the All India Congress Committee (AICC) reportedly decided to issue a ticket to veteran Congress leader K H Muniyappa’s second son-in-law Chikkapeddanna, to contest from Kolar Lok Sabha Constituency (Reserve).The team also booked tickets from Bengaluru to Mangaluru to submit their resignation to Assembly speaker U T Khader.No doubt, all is not well in Kolar Congress as two teams have been formed- one headed by veteran Congress leader K H Muniyappa and another headed by former speaker K R Ramesh Kumar which includes legislators Kothur Manjunath (Kolar), K Y Nanje Gowda (Malur), S N Narayanaswamy (Bangarpet) and MLCs Nazeer Ahmed. It may be noted that in the last parliamentary elections, the team which was identified as a ‘Gatabandhan’ had directly worked against KH Muniyappa and had supported the sitting Member of Parliament S Muniswamy. It was then for the first time that KH Muniyappa tasted defeat in his political career.
