Bengaluru, Apr 15: Senior Congress leader V.R. Sudarshan on Saturday resigned from the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee vice-president’s post following reported denial of ticket to him to contest from Kolar.
Sudarshan, a former Legislative Council chairperson, informed KPCC president G Parameshwara of his resignation in a text message, party sources said.
He was an aspirant to contest the upcoming polls from the Kolar Assembly constituency.
However, it is learnt that the Kolar ticket may go to either K Srinivas Gowda, who is said to be Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's follower, or retired IAS officer Syed Zameer Pasha, who apparently is former Union minister K H Muniyappa's pick.
Sudarshan is expected to tender his resignation formally in writing in a day or two, sources added.

In a tragic turn of events, a young spectator lost his life during a bull-taming event, Kobbari Hori, at Chigalli in Mundgod taluk, Uttara Kannada, on Saturday.
Parameshwar Siddappa Harijan, aged 22, was fatally gored by a marauding bull during the event, which had drawn large crowds as part of the Deepavali festival celebrations.
With thousands of spectators lining the path to witness the action, the event took a horrific turn when the bull charged directly at Parameshwar, inflicting severe injuries.
Despite efforts to rush him to the hospital, Parameshwar tragically succumbed to his wounds on the way.
In response to the fatal accident, another bull-taming event scheduled for the evening in Mundgod town was promptly cancelled, as shock and grief swept through the community following the heartbreaking incident.
