Bengaluru: Karnataka Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader Siddaramaiah along with deputy chief minister G Parameshwara and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Dinesh Gundu Rao on Monday met Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar and submitted a letter to take action against the four rebel MLAs who violated the party whip by not attending the CLP meeting and Budget session. The four rebel MLAs are Umesh Jadhav, Mahesh Kumtahalli, Nagendra and Ramesh Jharkiholi.
