Leaders in a delegation of the Opposition Congress party got into heated arguments with Director of Sports and Youth Affairs Ajay Gaude over expenditure incurred on Yoga Day events across the State.
The interaction between the Congress leaders took an ugly turn when Gaude took objection to demands that he resign from his position.
"Who are you to ask me to resign?" Gaude was heard questioning the protesting Congress partymen, adding that they can file a complaint over the matter but had no business to ask a bureaucrat to resign.
Congress spokesperson, Amarnath Panjikar, later told the media that they had gone to meet the director and seek accountability for the enormous expenditure on Yoga Day without following norms.
He said RTI replies received showed that the 'information was not available' alleging that the events were conducted and huge amounts of money spent without any tendering process.
He said the party has submitted a detailed memoramdum to the director seeking accountability.
