I am an MLA because you are with me. If you want me to resign, I will submit my resignation if Gadag is not declared drought-hit by October 10," Patil told farmers.Addressing them, Patil said he was not "helpless" and would make all efforts to ensure the declaration was made at the earliest."I am not that helpless.
