Vishwanath threatens to quit as MLA if JDS rejects resignation from post of party chief

Bengaluru: JD(S) president AH Vishwanath convened a press meet and threatened JD(S) leaders by stating that if his resignation from the post of party president is not accepted, then he will quit as MLA too. He also slammed Siddaramaiah and Kumaraswamy for not using their expertise in leading the coalition.

Referring to Siddaramaiah, he said the person who doesn't know the meaning of coordination is the leader of the coordination committee. He also said that his situation would not have been any better than Roshan Baig’s, if he had continued to be a Congress leader. Roshan Baig was suspended from the party.
