Mysore/Mysuru: K.R. Nagar JD(S) MLA
S.R. Mahesh said that the JD(S) was willing to accept NR Congress MLA Tanveer Sait into the party fold, if the Congress party takes disciplinary action against him in connection with Mysuru Mayoral polls.
Addressing a press meet at his Office near Rama Vilas Road here yesterday, Mahesh said that Congress Corporators supported the JD(S) candidate at the last minute in order to keep out the BJP from power in the civic body. Observing that it was not correct to target Tanveer Sait for having supported the JD(S), he said that Sait had done no wrong as the KPCC Chief himself had told Sait to continue the alliance with JD(S) in the MCC.

As the stir entered the third day on Wednesday, with Karnataka State Safai Karmachari Commission Chairman M. Shivanna meeting the protesting contract UGD workers in front of the MCC Main Office on Sayyaji Rao Road in the morning, Mayor Tasneem chaired a meeting with leaders of Pourakarmika and UGD workers association at the MCC Hall later in the afternoon.
