When I was denied a ministerial berth during the tenures of Dharam Singh and Siddaramaiah, I could have resigned too. Didn’t G Parameshwara and I remain patient?” he said.Shivakumar also said he had directed all ministers to immediately visit their respective districts to assess the drought relief situation.The remarks came a day after Congress MLAs Yashavantarayagouda V Patil (Indi) and Belur Gopalakrishna (Sagar) resigned from the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, expressing disappointment over being excluded from the cabinet expansion.Patil submitted his resignation to Deputy Speaker Rudrappa Lamani at the Vidhana Soudha. Soon after, his supporters staged a protest in Bengaluru, alleging that he had been treated unfairly by the party.Gopalakrishna also resigned, adding to the pressure on the Congress leadership ahead of the swearing-in ceremony for the new ministers.Speaking to reporters, Patil claimed his name had been included in the list of ministers until the last moment but was dropped from the final announcement.”I have been watching the developments within the party; ultimately today, during the expansion, our leadership failed to keep the promise made. So, without any other option, it was inevitable for me to resign. I have submitted the resignation,” he said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines”It is not acceptable to my conscience.
