Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar issues a warning to discontented Congress MLAs against resigning, saying the party will accept resignations quickly. The remarks come after recent cabinet or ministry changes that have left some legislators unhappy. According to the reporting, Shivakumar tells MLAs to remain patient and asserts that any decision to quit will be processed promptly, framing loyalty to the party as more important than personal ambitions. He also highlights his own political journey, citing long efforts and persistence to reach his current position.
The comments follow instances in which some lawmakers have considered resignation. The reports note that after a ministry expansion and changes in portfolios, two MLAs choose to resign. Shivakumar responds by indicating that the party will provide alternative roles, including opportunities in state-run boards, for those who were not included or sidelined in the reshuffle. The overall message is that resignations will not be discouraged through delay, but the party expects its legislators to hold on to their positions while waiting for further assignments.
