Complaint filed with AICC against Siddaramaiah’s Swabhimani Janandolana Samavesha
Bengaluru: A complaint has surfaced against the ‘Siddaramaiah Swabhimani Janandolana Samavesha,’ scheduled to be held in Hassan on December 5 by various progressive organisations. An anonymous individual has written to AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, raising concerns about the event.
The letter alleges that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has consistently distanced himself from Congress platforms and symbols, instead organising programmes under the banners of different organisations since joining the party.
It further highlights that during Siddaramaiah’s birthday celebrations in the past, he avoided involving the party directly. While all the leaders present at the event were from Congress, hosting the event under the party’s symbol could have strengthened its position. However, senior leaders failed to address this.
The letter expresses disappointment over some ministers and MLAs of the state government, elected under the Congress symbol, participating in the Swabhimani Janandolana event in Hassan. It questions why the Congress party and government, which gave them power, are being sidelined. The complaint urges the party leadership to instruct Siddaramaiah and others to organise events under the Congress symbol for the benefit of the party.
The letter also claims that all arrangements for the programme are being made by Congress leaders at party offices, yet the Congress symbol is being deliberately excluded. Party workers are questioning this decision and expect senior leaders to intervene.
It concludes by requesting Siddaramaiah to explain why he distances the Congress party from his events, despite being given power by the party. The complaint calls for immediate action to ensure the party’s interests are safeguarded and loyal workers feel encouraged.

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
