Two Congress MLAs resigned from the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Monday after being left out of the state cabinet expansion, a sign of growing discontent within the ruling party. Supporters of one of the lawmakers staged a protest, alleging unfair treatment by the party. The resignations come as the party prepares to swear in 20 ministers later today at Lok Bhavan. State Congress leaders have named 10 new faces as part of the expansion, according to a party announcement. The move is seen as an effort to balance regional and caste equations, but the resignations highlight friction over the selection process.
