Bengaluru: Day after resigning from his post of political advisor to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, BR Patil broke silence over the reason behind his exit. 

Speaking to Republic Kannada exclusively, Patil said, "There is no special development. I had always thought of resigning...There is no dissatisfaction."

"There are issues, but I will not disclose them. I had discussions with the CM, but I will not withdraw my resignation," he continued.

Speaking on his next move, he said that he will continue to work as a legislator.
