JD(S) expels Shivarame Gowda

He allegedly abused the late G. Made Gowda recently

The Janata Dal (Secular) on Monday expelled its former MP from Mandya L.R. Shivarame Gowda from the primary membership of the party for allegedly abusing another former MP the late G. Made Gowda recently.

“It is not acceptable that late G. Made Gowda, who was a senior Vokkaliga community leader and a respected leader, was abused by Mr. Shivarame Gowda. I have listened to the audio and such actions are unpardonable,” former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy told presspersons here. “Mr. Shivarame Gowda has spoken unnecessarily on the late leader while speaking on Mandya politics. The video has now gone viral. There was no need to have used such unparliamentarily words.”

He said, “It is true that there was political disagreement between our party and the late leader. That does not mean we disrespect the leader.”
