Ignoring senior leaders resulted in poor performance of Congress in the state: Ramalinga Reddy
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Tuesday lashed out at the senior party leaders and added that due to the ignorance and lack of organizational interest, the party performed poorly in the recently held Lok Sabha Election.
Expressing his views on social media platforms Facebook and Twitter he added that the party’s state leadership ignored the advises and suggestions of senior leaders, he further added that the performances of some of the leaders also played its part in the poor performance of the party.
“The newcomers who don’t know anything about the Congress party or the Government were given priority over seniors and were welcomed in the party” Reddy said while expressing his anger.
“The state leadership and in-charge failed to handle the internal issues of the party. Even when there is our government in the state the party workers and activists were low on the spirit during the election. The main reason behind this was lack of communication and bonding between the top leadership and party workers. Ignoring the senior leaders of the party also played a role in this” he added.
“The party is going to face challenging times in the coming days and the senior leaders of the party should be taken in confidence to coup the situation. They should be given representation in the government and they should also jump in to the rescue of the party” the former Home Minister said.
He further noted that it will get difficult for the senior leaders of the party to continue if they are continued to be ignored the way they were during the Lok Sabha Election.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
