Tumakuru: Former MLA H Ningappa resigns from JDS
Tumakuru: The JDS leader and former MLA H Ningappa reportedly resigned from the JDS party on Tuesday.
The former MLA has submitted his resignation to the JDS state president C M Ibrahim, it is learned.
After three consequent electoral losses, he was elected for a Vidhana Sabha seat from the Kunigal constituency in 2004. In his tenure of 40 months, he is known to have consistently undertaken developmental works here.
In the background of D C Gowrishankar being granted the JDS ticket for the election in 2013, however, Ningappa had contested from KJP but lost in the said election.
He rejoined the JDS party during the 2018 election. Disheartened by the behaviour of the leaders in the party, he tendered his resignation from the JDS on Tuesday.
According to speculations, Ningappa is anticipated to join the Congress party soon.
