Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah submitted his resignation to the Governor's Special Secretary Prabhushankar on Thursday.
After the resignation, Siddaramaiah held a press conference in Bengaluru. He was accompanied by his deputy DK Shivakumar and Minister G Parameshwara.
Speaking to the media after his resignation, Siddaramaiah said that since Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot is not in the city, he gave his resignation letter to his special secretary.
Prabhushankar, Special Secretary to the Karnataka Governor, says, "I have received the resignation of Siddaramaiah (as the CM), but only the Governor can accept it after he returns."
Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot left for his residence in Nagda, Madhya Pradesh, earlier today.
