Ramalinga Reddy resigns as a minister in Karnataka’s government, according to reports. He announces the decision after expressing dissatisfaction with the portfolio allocation he says was assigned to him. At a press conference, Reddy states that he cannot work “against conscience,” linking his exit from the cabinet to his inability to continue under the terms of the portfolio he received. Multiple outlets report that his resignation follows the dispute over how responsibilities were allocated to him within the state cabinet. The accounts describe the move as a personal decision made in response to his concerns about the assignment of duties. The reports do not indicate that he is resigning from politics entirely, but rather from his ministerial position. The Karnataka government is expected to respond to the resignation through internal processes for cabinet changes and portfolio reallocations, though specific details on replacements are not provided in the available summaries. Reddy’s comments emphasize his stated unwillingness to continue in a role that he believes conflicts with his conscience.
