Former Union Minister and Congress MLC C.M. Ibrahim on Saturday said he would resign from the membership of the Legislative Council on February 14 and launch “ALINGO” (an acronym for Alpasankhyata, Lingayat, and Gowda communities) movement to counter AHINDA (an acronym for Alpasankhyata, Hindulidavaru, and Dalit) of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah “to teach a fitting lesson” to the Congress in the State.
Mr. Ibrahim said he would join one of the three parties - Janata Dal (Secular), Samajwadi Party, or Trinamool Congress. Mr. Ibrahim, who met former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy a few days ago and held talks, said he had not yet decided on joining the JD(S).
