UDUPI: Minister for ports, fisheries inland transport and religious endowment, Kota Shrinivas Poojari slammed the Congress for the sequence of events as it transpired in the state legislative council on Tuesday.
Congress leaders have politicised the issue and are solely responsible for the fracas that erupted in the council prior to the moving of no-confidence motion against the incumbent chairman of the council K Pratapchandra Shetty, he said.
Interacting with media here on Thursday, Poojari said when the Congress had moved a no-confidence motion against then chairman D H Shankaramurthy, the senior BJP leader had vacated the chair of the chairman and asked the deputy chairman to conduct the proceedings and allowed the motion against him to be debated and won the same. However, now the Congress is exerting pressure on its party leader Pratapchandra Shetty, he said.
