"Allegations against me are far from the truth. Clear investigation is needed. I'll come out innocent and I'm confident about it. I'm resigning on moral grounds and I request you to accept this," Ramesh Jarkiholi said in his resignation letter addressed to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa. Ramesh Jarkiholi gave his resignation after directions from the BJP high command, news agency PTI reported. BJP national general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Arun Singh is said to have communicated the party's decision to the state leadership, keeping in mind upcoming assembly elections in five states and panchayat polls in Karnataka, PTI reported.
