Will point out mistakes of party leaders, despite chances of getting expelled: Jayaprakash Hegde
Mangaluru, May 1: If party leaders commit mistakes, I say it's wrong. I do not mind if I get expelled from the party also, said former Minister of State for External Affairs K Jayaprakash Hegde.
Speaking at a ceremony of releasing English translation of former minister BA Mohidin's autobiography on Wednesday, Jayaprakash Hegde said, "workers of a party have to accept what the party leaders are telling. But I do not agree with it. It is not at all democracy. If it is wrong to say wrong as wrong, then I will repeat that wrong over and over again."
"Let whatever be the consequences. At the most they may expel me. Earlier also I have been removed (from Congress), I may be removed once again", he added.
