Meanwhile, giving details, Gowda’s driver said the vice president cited “personal work” before leaving. “We are used to waiting for them everywhere. I kept waiting and around 8:30 pm when I called him, his phone was off, he further said. Senior JDS MLC has claimed that Gowda had been upset since he was removed from the President’s Seat for the Legislative Council session. “I spoke to him on the 22nd. I had doubts about sitting in a chair. I told him that these things happen in politics. But in 113 years something like this never happened. Dharme Gowda was a very good man, “he added.
Low-profile 64-year-old Gowda was in the news recently after he was abused by top opposition congressmen in the Upper House for trying to preside over the session illegally.
Some members of Congress removed him from the chair (the president’s seat) claiming that he had joined the ruling BJP in unconstitutionally removing the Speaker of the Upper House, Pratap Chandra Shetty, who is from Congress.
