M.H. Ambareesh, MLA and former Minister, on Friday ruled out quitting the Congress and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Mr. Ambareesh, who has been skipping official meetings and visits to the district ever since he was dropped from the Cabinet in 2016, attended the inauguration of the sugarcane crushing operations at the Mysugar mill on Friday. Speaking to presspersons, Mr. Ambareesh said that he had enjoyed everything from the Congress and hence he would not join the BJP or other parties.

According to him, his health condition had not permitted him to participate in the campaigning for the byelection at Nanjangud and Gundlupet. He also participated in Ambedkar Jayanti programme.
