I will not leave BJP, I will not leave because of the threat to self-esteem: Minister Somanna

I will not leave BJP for any reason. He is actively working in the BJP and is not being fooled by anyone. If my self-respect is threatened, I am not alone. I am bound by the decision of the party. If you get a ticket, you will compete, if not, you will be quiet. No one is an enemy in politics. Minister V. Somanna shed tears saying that no one should do this.

A photo of minister V. Somanna sitting next to KPCC president DK Shivakumar while traveling in an airplane became the cause of a lot of political debates. There were speculations that V. Somanna would leave the BJP and join the Congress.

Minister V. There was a lot of discussion in politics about Soman joining the Congress. Somanna, who held a press conference, said, "I will not make my living by lying." My mother and father have taught me samskara. I am not living under anyone's delusion. Somanna burst into tears saying that it is not good to make other's Tejovadha unnecessarily.

There are rumors that I will join the Congress. This is far from the truth. The photo of him walking with DK Shi has gone viral and this is quite an old photo. I can't do anything about an old photo going viral. I am an honest person and will not leave BJP. If I had any problem, I would have resigned. But I have never had that kind of problem. I will contest the next election if I am given a ticket. He said that if not, he will do the work of the party.
