Bharatiya Janata Party’s Karnataka unit president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Saturday dismissed rumours of his resignation from the party post.
Mr. Kateel told reporters in Bengaluru that his statement earlier in Ballari — that he was taking full moral responsibility for the drubbing of the party in the recent Assembly elections and the party would take a call on his successor in due course — had been misconstrued, leading to rumours of his resignation.
Interestingly, the confusion has emerged a day after senior leader V. Somanna pitched himself as a candidate for the post of BJP State president.
