Karnataka Minister KN Rajanna Resigns after voter list controversy; Congress faces internal crisis
Karnataka Cooperation Minister KN Rajanna resigned after alleging voter list irregularities during Congress rule, sparking political turmoil. Considered close to CM Siddaramaiah, his remarks exposed party rifts. Deputy CM Shivakumar dismissed claims as “baseless,” while Rajanna insisted, “We failed to stop manipulation.” His earlier calls for more DyCM posts and Dalit leadership had already strained relations. The resignation hints at deeper factionalism in Karnataka Congress ahead of crucial elections.
