Bengaluru: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president, Dr G. Parameshwar's visit to New Delhi, reportedly resulted in discussions on a wide range of subjects with AICC president Sonia Gandhi, including the possibility of organising the AICC session in Bengaluru and the state government's nominations to the Legislative Council.
Dr Parameshwar reportedly batted in favour of noted film actress and former Mandya MP, Ramya and a businessman, K.P. Nanjundi for the two vacant Council seats to which nominations can be made by the state government.
It is reliably learnt that Mr Siddaramaiah has two other names in mind for the same seats: Film actress and Bal Bhavan chairperson Bhavana and noted writer, K. Marulasiddappa.
Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, a senior leader in New Delhi said Dr Parameshwar managed to secure the appointment with Mrs Sonia Gandhi after trying for the last couple of weeks.
He discussed the party's performance in the just concluded ZP/TP polls as well as the possibility of organising the AICC session in Bengaluru, the source explained.
Meanwhile Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday that he was planning a Delhi visit soon after presenting the state budget on March 18.
Speaking to reporters after meeting ADB President, Takehiko Nakoa here, Mr Siddaramaiah said, "Yes, I am aware of Dr Parameshwar's visit to Delhi which he discussed with me before he left on Tuesday. I am also planning a Delhi visit. I am going there to discuss the possibility of carrying out a full-fledged Cabinet reshuffle.”
