Ramaswamy thanked the JD(S) for giving him the opportunity to serve as a member of the Legislative Assembly and said that he never did politics for personal gain and served the state and his people with utmost sincerity. Have served the people of the constituency. Ramaswamy said, I did not leave JD(S). He himself threw me out. I am a victim of money power. I have officially resigned today, I will discuss about the future and then take a decision. People from other parties have approached me.
