Karnataka water resources minister Ramesh Jarkiholi on Wednesday resigned from his post on moral grounds after a CD, revealing him seeking sexual favours from a woman appeared on Tuesday.
“The allegations are far from the truth. There should be an immediate investigation into this. I believe that I am innocent but I resign on moral grounds. Kindly accept my resignation,” he wrote in a letter.
