Karnataka Council Chairman Horatti steps down following Congress pressure
Karnataka Legislative Council Chairman and BJP member Basavaraj Horatti resigned this Friday, claiming the ruling Congress administration pressured him to leave his post. Horatti explained that the Congress leadership told him to step aside voluntarily or deal with a no-confidence motion. He noted that he remains unclear about the specific reasons behind the government's demand for his resignation. In the meantime, Congress has put forward veteran leader Saleem Ahmed as the candidate to replace Horatti.
