ಗೂಂಡಾಗಿರಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಬಲವಂತವಾಗಿ ಹೊರಟ್ಟಿ ಬಳಿ ರಾಜೀನಾಮೆ ಕೊಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ: ಅಶೋಕ್‌ ಕಿಡಿ

According to Public TV, Basavaraj Horatti has submitted his resignation from the position of Chairman of the Karnataka Legislative Council. The development has triggered a sharp response from the Leader of the Opposition, R. Ashoka, who has publicly criticized the circumstances surrounding the departure.

In his statement, R. Ashoka alleged that the resignation was not voluntary but was instead the result of intimidation and pressure exerted by the ruling party. He characterized the incident as a 'stain' on the state's political history, claiming that a group was mobilized to force the Chairman to step down. Ashoka further warned that the opposition intends to challenge these actions and will discuss potential protest strategies against the Congress-led government.

Basavaraj Horatti, a veteran politician and long-serving member of the Legislative Council, has been a prominent figure in Karnataka politics. The allegations of coercion have added significant tension to the state's legislative environment. As of now, the government has not issued a formal rebuttal to the specific claims of 'goondaism' leveled by the opposition leader, and the political fallout from this resignation is expected to continue in the coming days.
