Belagavi, September 2: Upset over the behavior of Sri Rama Sene founder Pramod Mutalik, more than one thousand workers of Sene resigned en-masse on Sunday.
After their resignation, Sri Rama Sene former district president Ramakant Konduskar said that when they were joining the Sri Rama Sene, they have taken oath that they should not work under any political outfit. But Mutalik has been asking the workers to support political parties they want. When the BJP denied ticket to him, he asked the workers to oppose it. Another day, he would ask them to support the BJP. So, it has created illusion among workers. So, they have decided to come out of the organization, he said.
Mutalik has been using the organization workers as he wanted time and again. So, most of the workers in the district have tendered their resignation on Sunday, he said.
