Another jolt to coalition govt as Congress MLA Anand Singh announces resignation

Bengaluru, Jul 1: In a major blow to the 13-month-old JD(S)-Congress coalition government, Congress MLA from Vijayanagar Anand Singh on Monday announced his decision to resign amid speculation that Opposition BJP has renewed its efforts to poach rival party legislators to topple the government.

Singh, who was recently upset with the coalition government’s move to give away 3,667 acres of land to JSW Steel in Ballari, also met Governor Vajubhai Vala and appraised him on his decision. “I have resigned. I am meeting the Governor to inform him about my decision,” Singh told reporters.

Speculation was rife in the political circles that more than half a dozen disgruntled Congress and JD(S) MLAs will follow suit. Many of the Congress and the JD(S) MLAs are upset with their parties for not making them ministers.

The development has come at a time when Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy is away in the US on a private visit. Kumaraswamy is expected to return to Bengaluru on July 6.

‘Not received’

Meanwhile, Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar today denied having received Resignation letter from Congress MLA Anand Singh, who claimed to have tendered his resignation to the assembly seat.

"I have not received Resignation from any Legislator belonging either to Congress or JDS--Coalition partners of the Karnataka Government headed by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy," he added.

Talking to newsmen here on Monday, Ramesh Kumar said that "I am staying in a rented House and I don’t know to whom he (Anand Singh) has given his resignation letter. I am not aware about he tendering his resignation."

These are selfish people who are after money only.   MLAs leaving Congress to BJP are not human.  they are after money only.  Money is their belief and religion.   They are as if traitors and anti nationals.   They are cheaters also.   they beg for public vote in the name of one party and after getting elected they are looking for another party who offers them money.   Public should take note of such monkeys and should never vote them again and such poepl should be taught good lesson whenever they approach public for vote.    I wish public should make their head bald and make them sit on ass and run in the streets.

Bengaluru, Apr 15: The Opposition Congress in Karnataka on Wednesday accused the BJP government, headed by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, of showing discrimination in distribution of relief material to those affected by the lockdown, clamped to check the spread of Novel Coronavirus, by favouring constituencies represented by the ruling BJP Legislators.

Despite that, the party intends to extend full cooperation to the government during this hour of crisis without indulging in politics, it urged the administration to be “transparent”.

''We have had our (Congress) Task Force meeting today, during which we discussed several matters. There is a lot of difference between the government's talk and its deeds,'' KPCC President D K Shivakumar said.
