The Karnataka Assembly Speaker has rejected the resignation of Indi MLA Patil, saying it did not comply with the rules, according to The Hindu. The resignation came during a special session in which the MLA’s action created political embarrassment for the government over the issue of drought status. The available material does not provide the full text of Patil’s resignation or specify the drought-related demand in detail.
Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar described the resignation as an emotional response. He also told the House that Patil had been pacified. The Speaker’s decision means the resignation was not accepted on procedural grounds.
The report does not say whether Patil intends to submit a revised resignation or whether he has withdrawn the move. The episode unfolded inside the Assembly, with the Speaker addressing the House about the status of the resignation and Shivakumar commenting on the MLA’s state of mind. No further action by the government or Patil is given in the supplied material.
