"Former state president of the party AH Vishwanath resigned after my loss in Lok Sabha elections from Tumakuru. I have named 5 time MLA and former minister HK Kumaraswamy as the new state president of the party," he added.
The state committee also elected Nikhil Kumaraswamy to lead its youth wing in the state. National president H D Deve Gowda, Basavaraj Horatti and others attended the event.
