Ramalinga Reddy Quits Karnataka Cabinet Over Rift
CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In a significant political development in Karnataka, senior Congress leader Ramalinga Reddy has resigned from the state cabinet just days after taking the oath of office. Reddy stated that he felt “humiliated” by recent developments within the party and cited a sudden reversal in assurances allegedly made by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar as a major reason behind his decision.
The resignation has triggered fresh discussions about internal differences within the Karnataka Congress leadership. According to reports, Reddy expressed disappointment over portfolio allocation and political commitments that were reportedly altered after cabinet formation. He claimed that expectations set during discussions were not honored, leading to dissatisfaction and a sense of being sidelined despite his seniority and contribution to the party.
Political observers view the resignation as a setback for the Congress government, which has been attempting to project unity following its electoral success. The episode has also reignited speculation about factional tensions within the party, particularly between leaders aligned with different power centers.
Congress leaders are expected to hold discussions to address the situation and prevent further unrest within the government. Meanwhile, opposition parties have seized on the controversy, arguing that the incident exposes underlying divisions in the ruling establishment. The development is likely to remain a key talking point in Karnataka politics in the coming days.
