Take stringent action against MLAs who have resigned: Doreswamy, Devanuru write letter to speaker
'Will knock court's door if situation demands'
Bengaluru: Freedom fighter Doreswamy and renowned thinker Devanur Mahadeva have written to the speaker against the rebel MLAs who are resigning over self-interest amidst the ongoing political drama in the state politics.
“The (political) developments in the state are shocking. Anti-defection law had come into force in 1985 to prevent unlawful political defection, which was later amended in 2003. MLAs are now in the process of resigning from their legislator's posts to compete with more power from another party. Those who change the party for the sake of lust, pressure or anything else are equivalent to selling their soul and voters. Voters not only vote for the candidate but for the party as well. What is happening now is not only the irresponsibility but also betrayal. There must be a rule that those who resign must neither be allowed to contest any election for 6 years nor hold any office. If necessary, we are ready to knock the doors of higher courts,” they said in the letter.
