The BJP party has issued by Karnataka clarifies the rumors on Nalin Kumar Kateel resigned as BJP State President. The BJP Karnataka has hushed all the news as misinterpretation of Kateel statement.

In the letter issued by BJP Karnataka said " State President has not resigned: Nalin Kumar Kateel Bengaluru: Party State President has not resigned. BJP state president and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said that the information coming in the media is far from the truth.

He gave a press statement today, in Bellary. Answering the question about V. Somanna's declaration of aspiration for the post of state president, I take moral responsibility for the defeat. I informed the party elders about the reasons for the defeat. He clarified that he has told that I have been in the position of president for 4 years.

He said that the party will take an appropriate decision on the appointment of the state president of the party at an appropriate time. I did not say that I resigned from the post of the state president of the party. The media have misunderstood this statement was being broadcast wrongly."
