Asked when he would resign, Ramesh stated quickly. “I'm in Congress most effective technically. I will announce the date of my resignation quickly.” On becoming a member of BJP, he stated: “I'm nonetheless a Congress MLA and will’t say about my plans overtly.” But he gave sufficient hint pronouncing that when the Katti brothers have been dissatisfied after being denied Lok Sabha price ticket from Chikkodi, state BJP president B S Yeddyurappa went to their house and pacified them.
Decision better for Ramesh, says Satish

They had defied the celebration whip thrice, forcing Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah to recommend their disqualification.

State BJP president Yeddyurappa stated. “Over 20 MLAs aren't proud of this executive's efficiency. They don’t consider even Kumaraswamy. When the Modi executive returns, the state will see big political trade,” he stated.
