Former Congress MP from Tumakuru S.P. Mudduhanume Gowda, on Thursday, decided to resign from the Congress for being “sidelined” in the party since the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Mr. Gowda is likely to join the BJP to contest the Legislative Assembly elections from Kunigal constituency in 2023.
Before quitting the party, he called on KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah and told them that he should be relieved from the primary membership of the party immediately.
