"Rajanna has been asked to resign," a top source in the Chief Minister's office told PTI.

Rajanna held a meeting with the Chief Minister in the Vidhana Soudha.

The matter became a talking point during Karnataka Assembly session on Monday with the BJP legislators demanding the Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H K Patil and Rajanna to clear the air on this matter.
