Dalits rally behind Kharge 22 Feb 2009, 2050 hrs IST, TNN MYSORE: Dalit organizations appear to be up in arms against the Congress leadership for its reported move to remove Mallikarjuna Kharge from the post of Opposition leader in the state assembly. A day after state Youth Congress president and legislator Krishna Byregowda faced wrath of dalit youths at a party meeting in Chamarajnagar, NSUI volunteers and Youth Congress workers staged a dharna at the city Congress office on the Sayyaji Rao Road on Sunday. At the Youth Congress workers' meeting at Chamarajnagar, some dalit youths led by local leaders questioned the silence of the Congress leaders on the high command's move. However, Krishna Byregowda succeeded in cooling down the tempers of youths by assuring them of conveying their feelings to the high command. In Mysore, Youth Congress workers who protested the high command's move felt that the Congress is not recognizing the loyalty and dedication of the party leaders.
