Bangalore: The functioning of both the Houses of legislature was paralysed for the second day on Tuesday with the main Opposition, the Congress, sticking to its demand that Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy make a statement identifying the two persons — a former minister and a journalist — in connection with the matter relating to the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Project.

In the Assembly, Leader of the Opposition Dharam Singh, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Mallikarjun Kharge and former Minister R.V. Deshpande led the dharna by the Congress members in the well of the House when it assembled for the day.

They raised slogans against Speaker Krishna and the Chief Minister.
