AICC Disciplinary Committee issues show-cause notice to BK Hariprasad for criticizing Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: The All India Congress Committee's (AICC) disciplinary committee has taken action against Legislative Council member BK Hariprasad, issuing him a show-cause notice. This move comes in response to Hariprasad's indirect criticisms of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, which are believed to have caused embarrassment to both the government and the party.
During a conference held in Bengaluru, Hariprasad had openly criticized Siddaramaiah without explicitly naming him. He raised questions about the Chief Minister's choice of wearing a Hublot watch, having breakfast at the residence of senior BJP leader L.K. Advani, and accused him of espousing fake socialism.
“The remarks made by Hariprasad had the effect of bringing embarrassment to the Congress party and the state government. Given his seniority within the party, it was expected that such issues would be discussed within the party platform rather than through open statements,” the notice added asserting that in response to these developments, several Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and ministers approached AICC President Mallikarjuna Kharge, requesting action to address the situation.
Hariprasad, had earlier implied that some individuals had complained to the High Command against him to divert attention from their own alleged wrongdoings. The AICC Disciplinary Committee has subsequently issued a notice to Hariprasad, requiring him to respond within a period of 10 days.
