BENGALURU : Congress on Thursday demanded the “immediate” resignation of legislative council chairman Basavaraj Horatti, accusing him of violating a constitutional provision by announcing his intention to join BJP.
“As a presiding officer, Horatti has insulted the Constitution by openly stating that he will cross over to the BJP,” said BK Hariprasad, senior Congressman and opposition leader in the council. “We did not expect this from a senior leader like Horatti. He has served as an MLC for seven consecutive terms. ”
