The legislators from opposition parties did not relent despite Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's intervention.

Raising the issue in the morning, Turuvekere MLA MT Krishnappa of JDS said the government paid salary to Congress workers, who have been made members of the panels at district and taluk levels.

Taxpayers' money is being wasted on members of these panels, he alleged.

Legislators from BJP and JDS supported him and demanded that the government abolish these panels.
