Hours after Jagadish Shettar's resignation from BJP, Former Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa said that the people knew about Jagadish Shettar only because of BJP. Furthermore, the statements given by him have made them unhappy. He said, “We made him (Jagadish Shettar) the CM of Karnataka, and we made him the state BJP President. The statements given by him have made us unhappy. People knew about Jagadish Shettar only because of BJP. People from Karnataka will not forgive Jagadish Shettar. Dharmendra Pradhan had offered Jagadish Shettar, a ministerial position in the cabinet. We had offered a ticket to Jagadish Shatter's family. But he didn't respond to it.”
