Karnataka Minister Quits On “Ethical Grounds” Amid Row Over Alleged grownup Tape

Bengaluru:

Karnataka Water Assets Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi has resigned on “ethical grounds” after an alleged grownup tape was once aired by way of native information channels.

“Allegations towards me are some distance from the reality. Transparent investigation is wanted. I’m going to pop out blameless and I am assured about it. I am resigning on ethical grounds and I request you to just accept this,” Ramesh Jarkiholi stated in his resignation letter.

His brother and BJP MLA Balachandra Jarkiholi has sought a CBI probe into the topic and threatened to report a Rs 100 crore go well with towards those that launched the “faux CD”.

The purported video appearing the Karnataka minister getting intimate with an unidentified lady have been broadly aired by way of Kannada information channels.

“The lady who they declare has confronted injustice, her id isn’t recognized. Somebody offers the criticism claiming her family members insisted on it… taking that criticism itself is mistaken since the particular person affected has to offer the criticism, no longer any individual in the street,” Balachandra Jarkiholi stated, protecting his brother.
