In a tweet, Karnataka Congress said, “Instead of a candidates list, senior leaders exit is happening on the BJP side. Instead of announcing tickets, the wickets are falling. Tired of making profit from Eswarappa when he was a minister and now tired of making profit during the ticket distribution too. He ran away from politics as he could not bear the humiliation of BJP.”
The senior leader and Shivamogga’s MLA KS Eswarappa submitted his resignation letter to BJP national president JP Nadda on Tuesday. In a letter, he wrote, “I have decided to voluntarily retire from electoral politics. So, I ask you not to consider my name for any constituency in the upcoming elections.”
