Minister for Ecology, Environment and Tourism Anand Singh, who is irate as he did not get the portfolio which he desired for has given an ultimatum to chief minister (CM) Basavaraj Bommai and threatened to resign if his demand is not met.

Rumours about possible resignation by newly inducted Tourism Minister Anand Singh have been doing the rounds in the district since Tuesday morning.
