Congress MLA JN Ganesh has been suspended from the party by VY Ghorpade, General Secretary KPCC, on the directions of Dinesh Gundu Rao, the President of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee. A Special Committee has been constituted by Congress party under Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka G Parameshwara with State Ministers Krishna Byre Gowda and KJ George as members to investigate the clash issue between party members, reported ANI.
Congress MLA Anand Singh is being treated at Apollo Hospital after reports of alleged brawl with Congress MLAs JN Ganesh and Bheema Naik, reported ANI.
Former Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Monday, 21 January, said that Congress MLAs, who have been holed up at the Eagleton resort to thwart alleged poaching attempts by the BJP, will leave soon.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Dinesh Gundu Rao also said, “All the MLAs are going back to their constituencies. We had come here to fight the attempt by BJP to destabilize this government. We are very confident that our government is safe, secure and strong.
Reacting to reports of an alleged brawl with MLA Anand Singh, Congress legislator JN Ganesh said, "I did not hurt him. It is all a lie. If he's hurt, I along with my family will go and apologise to him.”
Former CM and Congress leader Siddaramaiah has called another CLP meeting at 11 am in Bengaluru on Monday, 21 January. All MLAs have been directed to attend the meeting.
Following the reports of scuffle between two Congress MLAs, Karnataka Minister Zameer Ahmed said, “All three are friends. They were having a discussion, it happens between friends. It was a minor fight between friends. Nobody has got any stitches; there hasn't been any blood loss.”
Hitting out at the Congress, BJP MLA R Ashok said, “DK Shivakumar and DK Suresh are confusing people by telling lies. Doctors of Apollo Hospital should come out and give clarification about whether Anand Singh is admitted for chest pain treatment or for something else. Police should file a suo-motu case and investigate.”
Congress leaders have rubbished the reports of a brawl at the resort, reported NDTV. Speaking to reporters, DK Suresh, who was at the hospital, said that Anand Singh was hospitalised after he felt a chest pain.
Following the reports of scuffle between two Congress MLAs, the Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, G Parameshwara said, “I have seen that only through media. I was there till 8:00. I don't know what has happened but I will let you know. Once I come out, I'll definitely let you know.”
It's unfortunate that @KPCCPresident was unable to stop the fight in Eagleton resort.

Tomorrow, AICC gen sec @KCVenugopal_INC will interact individually with our MLA’s regarding parliament elections & decision on our future course of action will be taken.
The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting at Eagleton resort in Bengaluru is currently underway.
DK Shivakumar, while addressing a press conference at Vidhan Soudha, said, “All senior ministers are willing to give up cabinet berths to accommodate others. If high command asks us we shall do it. I'm ready to sacrifice my berth too.”
Senior BJP leader KS Eshwarappa, BJP said, “All BJP MLAs are united, they will return today. Congress has no plans for development of Karnataka, gradually 20-25 MLAs will leave Congress. Siddaramaiah lost the CM post. Since then, he has become like a 'pagal' that is why he is targeting BS Yeddyurappa.”

“The absence of Congress MLAs from the CLP meeting and deep differences between the coalition partners are an indication that this is likely to erupt as a volcano in the next coming days.”BS Yeddyurappa
“Our MLAs are returning to Bengaluru from Delhi. We will tour the state and analyse the situation of drought. We will not destabilise this govt at any cost. Congress and JDS need not worry.”
It is a matter of shame that @PMOIndia @narendramodi and @BJP4India chief @AmitShah are doing their best to destabilise the coalition government in Karnataka and install a BJP regime through unconstitutional means. The people will teach them a lesson during the Lok Sabha polls.
