Soon after, Rajanna resigned from his ministerial post, sparking speculation across political circles.Special Magistrate Court Acquits BJP MLA V Sunil Kumar in Pramod Muthalik Defamation Case
Opposition leaders, particularly from the BJP, directly blamed the Congress government for Rajanna’s resignation. The matter became a hot topic in media and on social platforms, with several BJP leaders criticizing the ruling party.
Until now, CM Siddaramaiah had refrained from commenting. But during today’s Assembly session, a discussion on Rajanna’s removal led to a heated exchange between the ruling and opposition benches.
BJP leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy accused the Congress of committing injustice against a Dalit leader and demanded an explanation. The situation escalated into a war of words between the two sides.We are not Against Dharmasthala, No Doubts About Dharmadhikari: DK Shivakumar!
As CM Siddaramaiah prepared to leave the House, Narayanaswamy told him not to “run away.” In response, Siddaramaiah returned to his seat and said,
"The Leader of the House has already answered your question. I don’t need to respond."
When Narayanaswamy accused Congress of discriminating against a Dalit leader and called it part of the party’s culture, Siddaramaiah fired back:
"That’s not our culture.. it’s yours. Did you ever discuss Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation? Did you debate Yediyurappa’s resignation? Why was Basangouda Patil Yatnal expelled from your party? These are internal matters, and I am not obliged to explain them to you.""Politician Pooja Pal expelled from the Samajwadi Party beacuse of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.? Here's why."
With that, the Chief Minister walked out, leaving the session charged with political tension. Today’s proceedings were dominated by the uproar over Rajanna’s ouster.
