Congress Fan Attempts Suicide Over Ministerial Denial
A fan of a Congress politician named Tanveer Sait tried to kill himself by drinking poison in Mysuru because the party said he would not get a minister job.
The fan, who is called Tabrez, is getting better after doctors helped him.
People who support Sait gathered near his house and asked for the minister job, and one even said Sait should quit his MLA seat.
Sait said he was promised the job but it didn’t happen, and he will decide what to do after talking with his supporters.
This shows how upset some people are about who gets cabinet positions in Karnataka.
A die‑hard fan of Congress MLA Tanveer Sait attempted suicide by ingesting poison in Mysuru after the party denied him a ministerial berth.
The fan, identified as Tabrez, is recovering after treatment.
Sait supporters gathered near his Udayagiri residence demanding a ministerial post and, in one instance, called for his resignation as MLA.
Sait said he had been promised a ministerial position that was not fulfilled and would announce his decision after consulting supporters.
The incident highlights tensions within Karnataka’s Congress over cabinet appointments.
