Three-time Janata Dal (Secular) legislator from Arasikere in Hassan district, Ok.M. Shivalinge Gowda, resigned from the membership of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Sunday.
He handed over his resignation letter to Legislative Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri at Sirsi in Uttara Kannada. The three-time legislator is predicted to join Congress, which is likely to area him from Arasikere.
Mr. Gowda, who has been at loggerheads with the occasion management was anticipated to give up the occasion because the JD(S) has already introduced Banavara Ashok as its candidate from Arasikere meeting constituency. Mr. Gowda had distanced himself from occasion actions for a while now, and had been issuing statements in favour of Congress.
Mr. Gowda is the third JD(S) legislator to resign from home membership within the final one week after S.R. Srinivas of Gubbi meeting constituency in Tumakuru and A.T. Ramaswamy of Arakalgud meeting constituency in Hassan district.
Another JD(S) legislator Srinivas Gowda, representing Hassan meeting constituency has additionally left the occasion, and has introduced his help to Congress Legislative Party chief and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah if he choses to contest from Kolar.
