C.M. Ibrahim, who had quit the Congress on March 12, resigned from his membership of the Karnataka Legislative Council on March 31. His tenure was to end in June 2024. He also announced his decision to join the JD(S) ‘unconditionally’.
The senior politician had submitted his letter of resignation from the party membership to AICC president Sonia Gandhi on March 12. On March 31, he tendered his resignation as an MLC to Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti. His resignation as MLC coincides with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Karnataka.
“Thursday is an auspicious day for all communities. Hence, I have resigned today. This is a conscious decision. Many more people from the Congress are likely to come along with me. I will not force anyone, but there will be a major storm after Ugadi festival in Karnataka,” he said.
