Bengaluru: One more blow to coalition – Ramesh Jarkiholi resigns as MLA


Bengaluru, July 1 (IANS): In a blow to the H D Kumaraswamy-led coalition government in Karnataka, rebel MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi, on Monday sent in his resignations from the state Assembly. Anand Singh had resigned earlier during the day.

In his hand-written letter in Kannada, faxed to the office of Assembly Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar, Jarkiholi complained his party had "ignored" his seniority after dropping from the cabinet last year.

"I have resigned as Gokak legislator for being ignored by the party and the coalition government," he said.

His resignation came within hours of party legislator Anand Singh quitting the house to protest the Congress-JD-S coalition government's plans to sell over 3,667 acres in Ballari to JSW Steel Ltd.

"I have submitted my resignation letter to Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar at his residence, as I am unhappy with the coalition government's decision to sell the land to Jindal steel firm," Singh, who represents the Vijayanagar assembly constituency in Ballari, told reporters here.

    For Congress its high time to pull out of the coalition gracefully. Its obvious that nobody wants JDS at the helm . Congress or even the gen public are fedup with the daily tamashas. All the benefits have been reaped by the Gowda family as Congress cadres were ignored and sidelined. Accept this mistake and withdraw. At least that would earn peoples respect and forgiveness. If not its BJP all the way in the next elections. Congress can sit at home and start blaming the EVMs with fake ids on social media.
