1. Nikhil Kumaraswamy resigns as chief of JD(S) Karnataka youth wing
President of the Janata Dal (Secular) Karnataka youth wing Nikhil Kumaraswamy submitted his resignation from the post today owning moral responsibility for the party’s poor performance in the recently-concluded Assembly elections.
Mr. Nikhil had contested from the Ramanagara seat, which had earlier elected his mother Anitha Kumaraswamy. However, he lost to incumbent MLA Iqbal Hussain H. A. of the Congress. His resignation came ahead of the national executive as well as introspection meeting called by the JD(S), to review and decipher the party’s drubbing in the polls.
