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.

Hazaribag (PTI): Four Maoists, including one carrying a reward of Rs 15 lakh on his head, were killed in a gunfight with security forces in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district on Friday, police officials said.
The encounter took place in the Khapia forest area within the Keredari police station limits, following a tip-off.
"Four Maoists were killed in a gunfight with joint forces in 'Operation KotiNeer'. The Maoists killed have been identified as regional committee member Sahdeo Maho, carrying a reward of Rs 15 lakh, Ranjit Ganjhu, Zonal committee member, carrying a reward of Rs 10 lakh," IG, CRPF, Saket Kumar Singh told mediapersons.
The remaining two are Area Commander Budhan Karmali, carrying a reward of Rs one lakh and sub-zonal committee member Natasha, a woman who hailed from Gadchiroli in Maharashtra.
SDPO of Barkagaon, Pawan Kumar, said that no security personnel were injured in the operation.
The Maoists killed were wanted in about 80 cases.
With the encounter, only 57 Maoists are left in the state, the IG said.
A number of arms were also recovered during the operation including two AK 47 and one INSAS rifles.
The development comes close on the heels of a fierce exchange of fire between a Maoist squad headed by Misir Besra, who carries a bounty of Rs 1 crore, and police personnel on April 15 in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum. Four security personnel were injured in the encounter.
The Centre has already informed the state governments that there are no Naxal violence-affected districts in the country, more than five decades since Left Wing Extremism (LWE) originated in India.
The declaration followed a high-level security review held earlier this month by the Ministry of Home Affairs under the mandated 'National Policy and Action Plan to Address Left Wing Extremism' formulated in 2015.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Parliament on March 30 that India was free from Maoists.
