I have already resigned, there is nothing more I can do about it: Congress MLA Pratap Gowda
Mumbai: Disgruntled Congress MLA Pratap Gowda on Sunday added that he had already resigned from the assembly and had nothing more to offer.
Pratap, after handing over his resignation on Saturday, reportedly flew to Mumbai and is staying in a private hotel in the city. Speaking to a TV Channel at the hotel, Pratap added that the coalition government was not concerned about the interest of the majority and that is why he resigned from the assembly.
“There are chances that more MLAs will resign and join us. I believe our demands will be met if we switch to BJP, there is no developmental work going on in the state under this government. They party is also not respecting senior leaders like me, they are not even bothered to contact me” he added.
He further added that he had not thought about joining BJP as yet.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
