Madikeri: T P Ramesh, chairman of Karnataka Silk Marketing Board Limited, has resigned from the post. Ramesh also resigned from the primary membership of the party.
The incident occurred during an Independence Day programme organised by the district administration at fort premises here.
Ramesh, following an instruction from District Minister M R Seetharam, handed over his resignation letter to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Bengaluru. Seetharam had expressed resentment over the incident.
"I have been in public life for 40 years, and the act of enquiring the health of a person (MLC Veena Achaiah) whom I treat as a sister, is construed as wrong by the party. It would be suffocating for seniors like me to continue further in the organisation," Ramesh wrote in his letter to KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao.
Ramesh had held the hand of Veena, only to be gently pushed back by the latter, the video of which had gone viral on social networking sites.
