CPI MP and Leader of the Party in the Rajya Sabha, P Sandosh Kumar, has written a letter to former Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, expressing concern over his sudden resignation and subsequent "disappearance" from public life.
"If the accused is a people's representative, he should resign from that position," Sivankutty said while adding, "There is a controversial issue that has been discussed in the public sector in Kerala for the past two days."
"This is an ideological fight. The country doesn't know the reason behind the resignation of the last vice-president, Jagdeep Dhankhar...On one side, we are fighting for the constitutional rights...This country is facing big ideological issues... We are fighting to save the Constitution,"
Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra on Tuesday slammed Rahul Gandhi, saying he does not have the patience to hear the facts following KN Rajanna's resignation amid controversy over his remarks on voter list irregularities.
Former Karnataka Cooperation Minister KN Rajanna called his removal from the cabinet part of a "big conspiracy" and said his remarks on voter fraud were misunderstood. He confirmed the decision came from the Congress high command and assured loyalty to the party and Rahul Gandhi.
Meanwhile, Karnataka's Large and Medium Industries Minister MB Patil claimed he was unaware of the reasons behind Cooperation Minister KN Rajanna's resignation.
Rajanna stepped down on Monday amid controversy over his remarks on voter list irregularities, which contradicted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI).
