Karnataka DGP Refutes Reports Of Transfer After Mamata Banerjee’s Complaint, Says Report Submitted To CM Kumaraswamy
Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP), Neelamani Raju, has refuted reports of her transfer by the Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) government after a complaint by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, The News Minute has reported.
A visibly distressed Banerjee was seen reprimanding the DGP and then going on to complain to JD(S) leaders H D Deve Gowda and Kumaraswamy.
Mamata had to walk a short distance as several vehicles blocked the road to the swearing-in venue. This was unseemly according to Banerjee, who felt that the traffic arrangements for the event were not upto the mark.
The DGP has said that she has submitted a ‘verbal report’ to Karnataka Chief Minister Kumaraswamy. The Chief Minister has also refuted the claims.
JD(S), which leads the coalition government, has only 38 seats in the assembly and relies heavily on the Congress which holds 78 seats. The swearing-in saw the entire opposition coming together as a show of strength against the BJP.
Earlier, DNA had reported that the DGP has been transferred following Mamata’s public display of anger during the swearing-in ceremony.
