No plans to withdraw resignation as CM’s Political Advisor: B.R. Patil clarifies
Kalaburagi: MLA B.R. Patil has made it clear that he will not withdraw his resignation from the position of Chief Minister’s Political Advisor under any circumstances.
Speaking to the media in the city on Sunday, Patil stated, "There is nothing unusual about my resignation from the CM’s Political Advisor post. I had been considering stepping down for a while, and I have now done so."
He cited concerns over the Governor’s intervention as one of the reasons for his resignation. However, he dismissed any claims of dissatisfaction, asserting that such reports were the creation of the media.
