Party pooper

Karnataka Governor Rameshwar Thakur is under attack from state Congress leaders, so much so that they approached the central leadership about a change. They complained that Thakur was becoming very unpopular among people because of his transfer-and-posting policy favouring the “wrong type” of officials. When the Congress leadership got down to ascertaining the fact, they found that the Governor was indeed unpopular, but not among the people, only in Congress circles. The reason: he had ignored the recommendations of state leaders like Dharam Singh and Mallikarjun Kharge with regard to transfers and postings.
