Two JD(S) leaders resign

Bengaluru: Two JD(S) members from Raichur have reportedly resigned as MLA’s.

It is alleged that the two are set to join the BJP party prior to the upcoming assembly elections.

They submitted their resignation letters to Legislative Assembly Secretary (in charge) S Murthy, as Speaker K B Koliwad was not present in his office.

Addressing the media they told that they felt sidelined by JD(S) leadership.

“We were not taken into confidence on many occasions. The party refused to address our grouses. Hence we were forced to exit the party and join the BJP,” they said.
