New JDS Karna unit prez will be appointed in 3 days:Deve Gowda

Former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda Monday said the party's new state president would be appointed in three days.

With Deve Gowda reportedly not accepting his resignation, the present incumbent A H Vishwanath had threatened that he would resign from the Karnataka assembly if he was not relieved from his responsibility.

"We will appoint the new JD(S) state president in three days," Gowda told reporters in Bengaluru, days after Vishwanath resigned apparently peeved at the way the Congress and JD(S) coalition government was functioning in Karnataka.

To a question whether he has accepted Vishwanaths resignation, Deve Gowda said, "I will get the new person appointed by him (A H Vishwanath) only.

Why will I accept his resignation? He only has to hand over (charge) to the person."
However, we have a policy of One man one post. Didnt I resign and make C M Ibrahim the party president soon after becoming the chief minister?"
