Nagaraj has said that the situation had become such that he resigned, but now DK Shivkumar and others have come and requested him to withdraw his resignation.

"I will talk to K. Sudhakar Rao and then see what to do next. After all, I have spent many decades in Congress. On the other hand, DK Shivkumar has even said that the party should live together after working for 40 years and die together. He said that every family keeps up and downs. "We should forget and move on," Shivkumar said. I am happy that Nagaraj has assured that he will continue with us. '
