BENGALURU:
Siddaramaiah told reporters that there was no politics behind hosting dinner with ministers at the residence of PWD minister Satish Jarkiholi. "Media persons are unnecessarily giving political colour to it," he said.
The dinner was hosted at Jarkiholi's residence on Thursday. Besides a few ministers, it was attended by leaders from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and OBC communities. However, deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar, president of state Congress party, could not attend the event as he is on a private visit to Turkey.
The timing and composition of the meeting have drawn speculations of a "strong infighting" in the Congress.
