The Congress-JD(S) coalition government in Karnataka Wednesday suffered another blow following the resignation of Shivajinagar Congress MLA R Roshan Baig.
"Today I have submitted my resignation from the Karnataka Assembly to the Speaker," Baig told reporters at Vidhana Soudha after coming out of the office of Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar.
The suspended Congress MLA made it clear he would not fly to Mumbai or Delhi, unlike the other disgruntled MLAs who have camped in a Mumbai hotel.
"I am not going to Mumbai or Delhi. Being the chairman of the State Hajj committee, I am going to the airport to oversee arrangements for the Hajj pilgrims," Baig said.
To a question as to whether his party colleagues spoke to him, Baig said, "They said 'hello' to me. That's it."
