Nikhil Kumaraswamy submits resignation from post of JD(S) Karnataka youth wing chief
The Hindu
“The situation (poor performance of JD-S in Assembly elections) calls for making way for a new leadership. Hence, I am submitting my resignation from the post,” he said.
Janata Dal (S) youth wing Karnataka unit president Nikhil Kumaraswamy has submitted his resignation from the post owning moral responsibility for the party’s poor performance in the Assembly elections.
Nikhil Kumaraswamy could not win in Ramanagara seat, which had earlier elected his mother Anitha Kumaraswamy.
In the resignation letter addressed to State president C. M. Ibrahim, he has said that though the poor performance of the JD(S) had pained him, it had opened up opportunities for rebuilding the party.
Stating that the need of the hour is to convert the defeat into victory, he has said that the time has come for everyone to work for the party with commitment. “The situation also calls for making way for a new leadership. Hence, I am submitting my resignation from the post,” he said.
Making it clear that he would dedicate himself to strengthening the party organisation, he has appealed to senior leaders to accept his resignation.
It may be noted that Mr. Ibrahim has submitted his resignation from the post of Karnataka unit president. However, his resignation is yet to be accepted.
The JD(S) has called a national executive as well as introspection meeting on May 25 to decipher the reasons for its poor performance.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
