V Muniyappa appointed as political secretary to Karnataka CM
V Muniyappa, a Congress MLA from Sidlaghatta constituency, has been appointed as the political secretary to Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy. The move comes after BJP accused the JD(S)-Congress government of trying to poach its MLAs and took all 104 of them to a resort in Gurugram. Meanwhile, Congress has accused the BJP of trying to indulge in horse-trading.
