JDS MLA Narayan Gowda returns to Bengaluru
Bengaluru, Feb 13: JDS MLA Narayana Gowda on Wednesday landed in Bengaluru, from Mumbai where he was reportedly camping.
Alleging that BJP government in Maharashtra had kept Narayan Gowda who is a hotelier in Mumbai, under house arrest and when people of his constituency went to Mumbai looking for him, he was not found to be in the city, Congress and JDS MLAs led by Siddaramaiah had planned to go to Mumbai and stage protest against the Maharashtra government, it is said.
"Narayan Gowda has reached Bengaluru. He will attend the Budget Session today. Ask him whether he is in contact with the BJP or not", Tourism Minister SR Mahesh said.
It is also said that four disgruntled Congress MLAs who were camping in Mumbai for the last one and half months, have also reached Bengaluru. But it is not clear whether they would attend the Session or resign from their position. Coalition government coordinator Siddaramaiah has already appealed the Speaker to disqualify the four MLAs.
