Disgruntled former chief minister Jagadish Shettar resigned as MLA on Sunday after expressing anguish over denial of ticket to contest in the May 10 elections to the Karnataka Assembly, and launched an attack on the BJP, saying those who had built the party are being thrown out of their ‘own house’.

Shortly after the 67-year-old six-time MLA, who had also said he would quit the party, tendered his resignation, Karnataka BJP strongman B S Yediyurappa slammed him for deserting the outfit.
