Unhappy over non-inclusion in Karnataka Cabinet, 2 Congress MLAs resign
Two Congress MLAs, Yashavantarayagouda V Patil and Belur Gopalakrishna, resigned from the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Monday.
The resignations were in protest of their exclusion from the state cabinet expansion.
Patil's supporters staged a protest in Bengaluru alleging unfair treatment.
The Congress government is set to induct 20 ministers, with oath-taking at 5pm at Lok Bhavan in Bengaluru.
The expansion comes about two months after D K Shivakumar took charge as chief minister.
