The Opposition Congress, which has been in a protest mode against the policies of the State and Central governments for the last six months, seems to have succeeded in putting pressure on the ruling BJP to seek the resignation of RDPR Minister K.S. Eshwarappa, who has decided to quit from his post on Friday.
The party launched a 24-hour day-and-night protest on Thursday seeking the dismissal of Mr. Eshwarappa from the State Cabinet for his alleged role in the death of Belgaum-based contractor and BJP worker Santhosh K. Patil.
