No place for MB Patil in cabinet, supporters threaten of consuming poison
Bengaluru, June 6: Supporters of former minister and influential leader from Lingayat community MB Patil staged a protest for not inducting their leader into the cabinet of the JDS-Congress coalition government.
As some leaders of Congress and JDS were declined ministerial berths in the cabinet, their supporters staged protests. The supporters of Patil who have been to his house threatened of consuming poison if their leader was not given the ministerial berth.
When Krishna Byre Gowda visited the house of Patil, the agitating people even gheraoed Krishna Byre Gowda and expressed their resentment.

This anger has even spread to other places as well. Followers of DC Thammanna also staged a protest in Maddur by blocking the Mysuru-Bengaluru highway for not considering him for the post.
JDS MLC Basavaraj Horatti also expressed his displeasure against not giving the ministerial berth despite becoming the MLC for the last record 38 years. “I am senior in the JDS. I don’t know why my name is not in the list of the JDS candidates. I have expected his name in the list of the candidates. I have the confidence on CM Kumaraswamy. I would pain me if committed and honest people won’t get recognition”, he said.
Followers of CS Shivalli also staged a protest near Kengal Gate and supporters of Ajay Singh also staged protest in their constituency.
