On Wednesday he took oath as minister along with the new chief minister. On Friday, he has sent his resignation.
In a major embarrassment for the new DK Shivakumar government in Karnataka, Minister Ramalinga Reddy has resigned from the Cabinet just 3 days after taking oath.
Reddy is upset over the allocation of portfolio.
Confirming his resignation, Reddy claimed that he was promised the Bengaluru Development portfolio by DK Shivakumar himself, but was later allocated Irrigation portfolio, which is not acceptable to him.
“DK Shivakumar came to my house before taking over as the chief minister. He told me that I will be given Bangaluru portfolio. I had not asked the chief minister for any portfolio, he offered this on his own and I said okay,” Reddy stated.
He added that he was promised the portfolio twice by the chef minister, but later was allocated Irrigation ministry, which was unacceptable to him.
“Hence I’m resigning from the minister’s post,’ Reddy said after shooting off his resignation letter.
Ramalinga Reddy further declared that he will not accept any ministry under DK Shivakumar even if he is offered one of his choice now.
