Karnataka minister KN Rajanna resigned from his post on Monday. The Congress high command had decided to remove him from the cabinet after his controversial statement. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah accepted his resignation and sent it to the Governor, which has been approved.
What is the whole matter?
Rajanna had recently admitted that the voter list amended the voter list ‘in front of our eyes’ during the Congress government recently, but it was not monitored correctly. He told that the same person’s name was recorded at three places in many places, so that he could vote many times. Despite extremely low population in some areas, suspicious names were added.
Posts left after high command’s instructions
He said, ‘It is a shame for us that we did not keep an eye on it.’ Rajanna also accused the Election Commission that he did the work that he should not have done, and helped the Prime Minister by changing the voter list. However, he also admitted that the Congress failed to register objections on time and now the party has been instructed to be vigilant.
Initially, Rajanna refused to resign and said, ‘I will talk to the Chief Minister, only then I will say something. Why should I resign just by saying? ‘ But after the high command’s instructions, he left the post.
BJP came out in support of Rajanna
BJP surrounded the Congress on this matter. Party leader Amit Malviya wrote on X that Rajanna has opened up Rahul Gandhi’s ‘fake vote theft’ campaign. He said, ‘Rajanna was forced to resign on showing the truth and daring to reveal the flaws of Rahul Gandhi’s claims.’
