One more effort by a section of B.S. Yediyurappa’s partymen, even amidst the pandemic, has come a cropper, at least for now
With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) high command spurning the campaign by a section of partymen , Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa seems to have survived yet another effort to depose him, third amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. A few MLAs who were in Delhi seeking leadership change returned to Bengaluru last week empty handed. Mr. Yediyurappa himself acknowledged this effort said that those who went to Delhi had got a “suitable answer”. Now a section of legislators loyal to him are demanding removal of Tourism Minister C.P. Yogeshwar, who has been speaking against the Chief Minister, from the Cabinet.
