Hours after announcing his resignation from Congress, former Karnataka minister Pramod Madhwaraj joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday.

Pramod Madhwaraj, who was recently appointed as the new vice-president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), resigned from Congress’s primary membership, saying there was 'political suffocation'.

He posted his resignation letter on Twitter. Madhwaraj said, "I regret to inform you that since last three years, the situation in Udupi district Congress party has been a bad experience for me, thus leading to political suffocation and the facts have been brought to your kind notice and other party



leaders."

Madhwaraj said in his resignation letter to Congress state unit president D K Shivakumar alleged that the Congress did not take measures to redress his grievances regarding the prevailing situation in the party's Udupi unit.

Madhwaraj said that due to the circumstances in Udupi, he has reached a point wherein it has become impossible for him to continue in the Congress and to do justice to the new post that was assigned to him recently.

"Hence, I have decided not to accept the post of vice-presidentship of the KPCC and also to tender my resignation from the primary membership of the party," he said in his resignation letter.
