B S Anand Singh quits assembly, Out of saffron party too?

Deccan Chronicle  

Ballari: Pulling off a coup of sorts, the Congress is reportedly getting ready to induct two time BJP legislator and former Minister, B S Anand Singh, who resigned from the state Assembly on Saturday, into the party in the presence of AICC president, Rahul Gandhi on February 10 in Hosapete. Apparently targeting 'Hindutva politics' Mr Singh, whose mother is a Muslim and father a Rajput, told his supporters before handing in his resignation, "I can't be with people who light fires and have decided to go with people who extinguish them." The statement came as no surprise as he has been at odds with his party for a while, even drawing the wrath of the Sangh Parivar by participating in the Tipu Sultan Jayanti celebrations of the state government last year in defiance of the BJP's diktat. Meanwhile, Hospete Congress leaders protested before KPCC president, Dr G Parameshwar urging him not to give a ticket to Mr Singh from the constituency.
