The 53-year-old man’s decision to resign from the cabinet was not unexpected.
Bangalore:
Karnataka’s Minister of Kannada, Culture and Tourism, CT Ravi, has tendered his resignation, days after being appointed national secretary general of the BJP, sources close to him said on Sunday.
The four-time MLA from Chikkamagaluru presented his resignation on Saturday to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.
They added that the minister, who was appointed to the national party post on September 26, is scheduled to fly to Delhi on Monday to meet with BJP Central leaders.
CT Ravi posted on Twitter one of the popular verses from “Mankuthimmana Kagga”, written by the famous Kannada writer DV Guddappa.
“Nothing stops when a person dies. The seasons keep changing. Time may cry for some time. From the ground in which the dead are buried, the sprout of grass rises. The Earth is pregnant again with new life. Nature it is in a constant state of cultivation – Mankutimma, “wrote the minister.
