Ending days of speculation, two-time Member of Parliament from Koppal Karadi Sanganna, who has been upset with the BJP high command for not giving the party ticket to contest the election this time, submitted his resignation from his Lok Sabha membership and also from the party’s primary membership on Tuesday.
Mr. Sanganna confirmed to presspersons in Koppal that he submitted his resignation letter to Speaker Om Birla through mail. He also said that he submitted a letter announcing his resignation from the BJP’s primary membership to the party State president B.Y. Vijayendra.
“I have tendered my resignation as the BJP has hurt my self-respect and honour. Though the party has failed to recognise my service and good work, the people of my constituency [Koppal] are with me,” he said. Mr. Sanganna, it is speculated, would join the Congress.
