Kundapura: Former chairman of Karnataka Vidhan Parishad and Congress leader K. Prathapchandra Shetty resigned from his KPCC post on January 16. He sent a letter to this effect to the KPCC and a copy of it to the AICC.

Following his resignation from the post, there were rumors that Prathapchandra Shetty wishes to retire from active politics. Others speculated that he resigned due to his displeasure over distributing KPCC membership to party blocs.
