Escalating its demand for resignation of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Minister K.S. Eshwarappa for his controversial remarks on hoisting the saffron flag on Red Fort, the Opposition Congress resorted to a night-long dharna in both the Houses of the State legislature on Thursday.
The Congress, which has been staging a dharna in both the Houses since Wednesday demanding resignation of Mr. Eshwarappa, continued its dharna even after the Houses were adjourned for the day on Thursday.
Congress top leaders, including Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah and KPCC president D.K. Shivakuamar, were among those who stayed back in the Assembly to hold the night-long dharna. They declared that the party would take its demand for Mr. Eshwarappa’s resignation to logical end.
