Former Minister Anand Singh resigns as head of Ballari district bank
Triggers political speculations
Vijayanagara: Anand Singh, the former Minister, has stepped down from his position as Chairman of the Ballari District Co-operative Central Bank (BDCC) in Hospet. Singh cited personal reasons for his resignation, requesting that it be effective from July 1.
While Singh attributed his decision to personal factors, his resignation from the esteemed BDCC Bank, which serves the twin districts of Ballari and Vijayanagara, has taken many by surprise. As a result, it has sparked discussions and speculations within the political sphere.
It is worth noting that Singh had exerted pressure on former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, leading to the separation of Vijayanagara from the Ballari district. The new Vijayanagara district was officially declared during the tenure of former CM Basavaraj Bommai. Capitalizing on the district's newfound status, Singh managed to secure a BJP ticket for his son Siddharth to contest in the recent Assembly elections.
However, Siddharth was unsuccessful in the elections, following which Anand Singh has remained relatively detached from active politics. His resignation as Chairman of the BDCC Bank has prompted further speculations surrounding the motives behind his decision to step down.
