Karnataka Cooperation Minister K.N. Rajanna resigned from his cabinet position amid controversy over voter list irregularities, which he publicly acknowledged occurred during the Congress party's previous tenure. His resignation was accepted by the Karnataka Governor with immediate effect. Rajanna described his dismissal as part of a larger conspiracy and expressed willingness to be known as a former minister. The resignation has sparked political backlash, with BJP leaders accusing the Congress leadership, particularly Rahul Gandhi, of suppressing the truth and targeting Rajanna for exposing alleged irregularities. BJP officials, including MP Basavaraj Bommai, Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra, and Union Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje, criticized Congress for lacking transparency and democracy. Congress leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and MLA H.D. Ranganath, declined to comment in detail, emphasizing party discipline and the prerogative of the Chief Minister. The incident has intensified scrutiny over Rahul Gandhi's recent statements and actions related to voter list discrepancies. BJP leaders also linked the issue to broader political strategies ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The controversy reflects ongoing tensions within the Congress party and between political rivals in Karnataka.
