Chikkamagaluru: C T Ravi confidant H D Thammaiah resigns as BJP primary member
Chikkamagaluru: H D Thammaiah, who was always considered a confidant of local MLA and BJP national general secretary C T Ravi, has resigned as primary member of the BJP.
This is said to be a shocker for Ravi, as Thammaiah was the district convener of the party and had been aspiring for the Chikkamagaluru ticket in the upcoming polls. He is learned to have recently visited the BJP Chikkamagaluru district office with his supporters and put forth his request for the ticket from the Assembly constituency.
The current political developments here, however, are said to have led Thammaiah to put in his papers to the primary membership of the BJP.
In his official resignation, Thammaiah has said, “I have been working in the BJP and fulfilled my responsibilities in various posts since 2007, but the current political developments have disappointed me. As a result, I wish to resign from my post as convener of the district unit as well as primary member of the BJP.
“I wish to express gratitude to all office-bearers, heads and members of all boards, forums and units of the BJP, who helped me in my work for 17 years. I also thank all my activist colleagues and senior leaders of the BJP.”

Congress misleading public on National Herald case, matter still in court: BJP
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday accused the Congress of running misleading propaganda over the trial court's decision in the National Herald case and said the court refused to take cognisance of the complaint but did not set aside the case.
The case is still pending trial in the Delhi High Court, and the trial court in its order on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) can continue its investigation, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted.
"The court yesterday (Tuesday) said that since it is a private complaint and no FIR has been lodged, it will not take cognizance of it. It's a technical matter. The court also said that ED can continue its investigation further. The court did not set it aside," Bhatia told a press conference at the BJP headquarters here
"Its trial is still going on. Sonia Gandhi is still Accused Number-1 and Rahul Gandhi Accused Number-2," the BJP spokesperson said, alleging, "The Gandhi family thrives on deceit, deception, and propaganda."
