Chikkamagaluru: BJP national general secretary C T Ravi lashed out at Mudigere MLA M P Kumaraswamy, saying that no one in the BJP is dependent on CT Ravi and the BJP is relying on its ideology.

The BJP had earlier given ticket to MP Kumaraswamy five times. Since I am the national general secretary, he says this. It is not just a job to withdraw party tickets, the party has to be filled,” he said. “Kumaraswamy, Jeevaraj and I won because of my ideological commitment. The BJP is strong in Mudigere and we will win. Kumaraswamy speaks to the occasion. He came to my house yesterday and praised me. Now they talk like this. Let’s see what they say tomorrow, he said.
