Hours After Portfolio Allocation, Upset Minister Ramalinga Reddy Resigns From DK Shivakumar Cabinet

“I am resigning from my post because I cannot work against conscience,” Reddy said at a press conference here. He said, “How long can I tolerate this humiliation and what else were options before me?” This was a major setback for the Shivakumar government, which came to power on Wednesday. The Congress leadership made a last ditch attempt in the middle of the press conference to persuade the disgruntled minister, but he remained firm in his decision. He told the leaders who approached him with the party leadership’s message that the time is now lapsed to pay heed to any suggestions. This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
