Dissolve assembly & seek fresh mandate: Siddaramaiah to Gowda

Opposition Congress leader in the state assembly Siddaramaiah on Tuesday demanded that Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda dissolve the assembly and seek a fresh mandate,saying the heightened dissident activity in the ruling BJP has derailed the administrative machinery.

“The dissident activity by supporters of former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has brought the administration to a halt,” he told reporters.

Siddaramaiah alleged that the government has failed to tackle the drought situation.

He said though there has been a delay in the onset of the monsoon,indications were that the state would get good rains.

Therefore government should ensure supply of seeds and fertilizers to farmers,he said.
