There seems to be no end to the troubles in the Karnataka coalition government as another Congressman has expressed unhappiness against his own party and former state chief minister Siddaramaiah. Hirekerur Congress leader and three-time MLA BC Patil claimed Siddaramaiah had promised to make him a minister after Lok Sabha poll result but that had not happened till now

Belagavi strongman and five-time Congress legislator from Gokak, Karnataka, Ramesh Jarkiholi has hinted at resigning from the party indicating trouble to the HD Kumaraswamy-headed government. And, it's not just Ramesh Jarkiholi.

 

The much-awaited cabinet expansion has given rise to dissent in the Congress party. Surprisingly the resentment came from daughters of legislators like BC Patil and Ramalinga Reddy as the Congress party has not inducted them in the cabinet. Earlier this morning, Srushti Patil, daughter of BC Patil from Hirekerur expressed anger through her Twitter handle while Sowmya Reddy, MLA Ramalinga Reddy's daughter declined to accept the parliamentary secretary post in protest.
