Bengaluru: In a sudden political development amidst the tussle between the alliance partners — BJP and JD(S) over the Channapatna bypoll ticket, sitting BJP MLC C.P. Yogeshwar quit as MLC yesterday, much to the surprise of both the BJP and JD(S).
Yogeshwar met Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti at Hubballi and tendered his resignation. Yogeshwar, who had been sulking with the JD(S) hell bent on retaining the Channapatna seat for itself, is said to have decided on quitting after being upset over the adamant stand of Union Minister and senior JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy.
