Infighting among minority leaders: MLC Abdul Jabbar quits KPCC minority cell chief’s post
Abdul Jabbar, a three-time MLC, resigned as KPCC Minority Cell chief in response to infighting within the party over the Davangere South byelection. The resignation follows accusations of inadequate campaigning by leaders close to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, including B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan, and pressure for action against him. The unrest stems from a denial of a party ticket to a Muslim candidate, leading to discontent among minority leaders like Saleem Ahmed and Rizwan Arshad. A detailed report recommending action against those accused of undermining the official candidate has been submitted to the high command.
