Dharwad: I have resigned as MLA. Talks are on with a few others. I have to go to Bangalore and have a discussion with some people. Former chief minister Jagadish Shettar said that his final decision will be taken in Bengaluru.
Speaking to reporters at his residence in the city, Hegde said, “I have not resigned from the primary membership of the BJP yet.
It would have been difficult if I had contested as an independent as a BJP MLA. Therefore, I have resigned from the post of MLA. Some of the sangh’s elders have spoken to me. The helicopter belongs to our elders. Shyamanur Ganesh’s helicopter was chopped off. I’m going, he said.
It’s a small thing, I said give me a ticket. Let’s see if it comes. Let it come. I am agreeing that I have been given all the status. Twice when I got the chance I did obedient work. I will talk in detail about why I was given a chance. Congratulations to the party for giving me every opportunity. In return, I have formed a party, he said.
