'Resignations are part of politics': DKS on two Congress MLAs quitting over Karnataka cabinet snub
Karnataka chief minister DK Shivakumar downplayed the resignations of two Congress MLAs who quit after being excluded from the state cabinet expansion, saying resignations are part of politics.
Congress MLAs Yashavantarayagouda V Patil (Indi) and Belur Gopalakrishna (Sagar) resigned from the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, expressing disappointment over being left out of the cabinet expansion.
Patil submitted his resignation to Deputy Speaker Rudrappa Lamani at Vidhana Soudha; his supporters staged a protest in Bengaluru, alleging unfair treatment by the party.
Patil claimed his name was included in the minister list until the last moment but was dropped, and he cited unkept promises made before the 2023 Assembly polls.
