K Abdul Jabbar, a veteran leader of the Karnataka Congress party, has resigned from his position as Chairman of the Minority Department, expressing 'deep disappointment' among minority leaders regarding the party's recent decisions. His resignation follows the controversial handling of the Davangere South bypoll, where local leaders were frustrated by the denial of a ticket to a minority candidate. Jabbar's letter to Karnataka Congress chief and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar emphasized a broader sentiment of exclusion felt by minority leaders across the state, citing a lack of engagement in electoral strategies. He also criticized the treatment of Minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan, who was reportedly discouraged from campaigning in Davangere, an action that Jabbar claimed hurt the minority community's sentiments. Additionally, internal party dynamics have become strained, with allegations that some minority leaders are being accused of undermining the party's interests during the bypoll, further complicating the situation.
