Vishwanath firm on quitting as JDS KTKA president

Firm in his resolve to quit as JD(S) state president, A H Vishwanath, MLA, Thursday threatened to resign from the assembly if party chief and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda did not accept his resignation.

Pressuring Gowda to relieve him, Vishwanath said "You have to accept my resignation today. Else, I will have to consider resigning from (my) Hunsur assembly constituency.

The situation is difficult.Hence, you should not feel pained. I can face anybody but I lack strength to face you."
How come you are a coordination committee chairman?"
Hitting out at Congress leaders for the party's performance in the Lok Sabha polls, Baig, a MLA from Shivajinagar, had recently held Siddaramaiah's "arrogance" and KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao's "immaturity" responsible for the "flop show."
He also called AICC general secretary K C Venugopal a "buffoon."
