Bengaluru: Several legislators who did not get a cabinet position met at the residence of Ramesh Jarkiholi on Thursday despite being denied a political berth. MLAs Shrimant Patil, Mahesh Kumathalli, Arvind Bellad, former MLA Pratap Gowda Patil and MLC Raju Gowda were present in the meeting. It has been reported that the MLAs have expressed displeasure at being excluded from the Cabinet. A meeting was also reported to take place on Friday to discuss MLA plans, but no details were available about such a meeting.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had reportedly learnt about the meeting of the MLAs and invited them to discuss on the issue of injustice being done to them. However, the MLAs did not meet the chief minister and decided to do so only after their second meeting.
