Karnataka BJP alleges Congress used 'goondagiri' to force Horatti's resignation
Karnataka BJP delegation meets former Council Chairman Horatti, alleges Congress used 'goondagiri' to force resignation · thehansindia.com

In a place called Karnataka, in India, there is a big government building called Vidhana Soudha.

Inside, a special group of grown-ups called the Legislative Council helps make rules for the state.

A leader named Basavaraj Horatti was in charge of that council as its Chairman.

Some people in a group called the BJP are upset because Mr. Horatti quit his job.

The BJP says a different group, the Congress, made him quit by being pushy and unkind.

They say many lawmakers crowded into his office and would not leave until he signed a paper quitting.

They also say a new person was chosen for his job before he had officially quit.

The BJP calls this a sad day for fairness in government.

We only hear the BJP's side of the story, so these are claims, not proven facts.
