Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)
Bengaluru, Jul 30: Disqualified Congress legislator from K R Puram constituency here, Byrathi Basavaraj, blamed mental torture inflicted on him by senior Congress leaders and their behaviour for the unenviable situation he finds himself in now.
Speaking to media persons with tears in his eyes on Monday July 29 after getting closeted with party leaders for some time, Basavaraj said that the Bengaluru in-charge minister did not show any concern for the development of the city and was lethargic about constituencies located in the city. He pointed out that during the 14 months he was the legislator for this constituency, he could not lay foundations tone to even a single work.
Byrathi said that he and his fellow legislators had resigned from their positions voluntarily as it was necessary in the interests of the development of their constituencies. "No decision as yet has been taken about joining the BJP. I will take further decision after holding discussions with the voters of my constituency," he stated.
