KUMAR BANGARAPPA TO RE-JOIN CONG. IN DELHI TODAY http://www.starofmysore.com/main.asp?type=news&item=2510 Bangalore, Mar. 26 (KMS& MRS)- Former Minister Mr. Kumar Bangarappa, who was dumped by his father Mr. S. Bangarappa, has returned to Congress seeking shelter, leaving his father and brother in the BJP. Mr. Kumar Bangarappa will rejoin the Congress at New Delhi this evening at 4 O' clock in the presence of Congress President Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and Karnataka Chief Minister Mr. S.M. Krishna. The Congress today revoked the expulsion of Mr. Kumar Bangarappa who had joined BJP following his father's footsteps only recently. Congress High Command is learnt to have decided to field Mr. Kumar Bangarappa from Soraba Assembly constituency (Shimoga district) where his brother Mr. Madhu Bangarappa is contesting as a BJP candidate. With this development the feud in the Bangarappa family has taken a political twist as Mr. Bangarappa has openly defended his decision to deny BJP ticket to Mr. Kumar. Mr. Bangarappa, while addressing party workers at Shimoga three days ago, had criticised the style of functioning of Kumar as a Minister in the Krishna Government. "He ignored the poor and the down-trodden. He sidelined me and colluded with my political rivals," Mr. Bangarappa had alleged. However, at his supporters meeting in Soraba yesterday, Mr. Kumar Bangarappa had denied these allegations saying that the Chief Minister himself had commended his performance. He had also said that he did not want to fight his own brother Madhu in Soraba constituency. However, in order to embarrass Mr. Bangarappa, the Congress has decided to pitch Mr. Kumar against Mr. Madhu. Mr. Kumar has called upon his supporters not to allow BJP even to their door-steps as the party had started breaking families. |
