Parameshwar has met Shankaramurthy along with his resignation letter. But Shankarmurthy has clarified that he could not accept his resignation. Upset over Shankaramurthy response for a while, Parameshwar asked the reason for not accepting his resignation. However, Shankaramurthy clarified that “as soon as the Gazette notification is issued after electing as the MLA, the Council membership would stand cancelled. You will not remain as the Legislative Council Member. So, there is no need to resign from the position. Even if you tender your resignation, I could not accept it as per the Act”, he said.
