Mangaluru, Feb 18: Sidelined Congress veteran B Janardhana Poojary has now challenged chief minister Siddaramaiah to take a truth test at either Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala or Sri Kshetra Kudroli Gokarnanateshwara that he had not opposed giving rice at Re 1 per kg, which he later made his flagship programme after assuming office.

11poojaryPoojary said that as a finance minister Siddaramaiah had opposed his proposal of distributing rice at Re 1 per kg. "As KPCC president, I suggested the Congress government implement a scheme to distribute rice at Re 1/kg, but it was opposed by Siddaramaiah who was the then finance minister.

Let him take a truth test before the deity at Dharmastala or at Kudroli about this," Poojary said, inviting the chief minister for an 'Aaane Pramaana'.

Poojary said he is ready to accept a show-cause notice from the party high command and won't mind if he's removed from the party. "I'll die happily as a Congressman even if the party expels me.

There is no question of leaving Congress. Let them expel me today, but I'll continue to be a Congressman. I'm not a politician, who jumps from one party to another for power," Poojary said.

My sincere advice to Hon'ble Mr. Poojary is to take political retirement. In case you cant do any favor to Congress please dont try to hurt it. Congress has given you a lot. Hence, please be grateful to the party and observe silence.
