Bangalore, 12/4: Upset over not being given a party ticket for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections, BJP leader Laxman Savadi announced on Wednesday that he would resign from the primary membership of the saffron party and as an MLC.
Sitting MLA Mahesh Kumathalli was given ticket in Athani in Belagavi district. Savadi is a three-time MLA from Athani, but he lost in the 2018 elections to Kumathalli (then in the Congress).
“I have certainly taken a decision. I have decided to resign from the primary membership of the party,” Savadi said in a press conference. He added that he will take a “strong decision” on Thursday evening and will start working from Friday.
