BS Yediyurappa "Lacks Spirit, Courage" To Stay Chief Minister: BJP Leader

H Vishwanath, a member of the state legislative council (MLC), has made several serious allegations against Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.

BS Yediyurappa, battling dissent in Karnataka, has been pronounced as "lacking spirit or courage" to continue as Chief Minister in the latest attack from a party colleague. BJP leader H Vishwanath has shared his damning feedback with Karnataka in-charge Arun Singh, who is meeting with MLAs and others to assess the extent of the crisis in the state unit. H Vishwanath, a member of the state legislative council (MLC), has made several serious allegations against Mr Yediyurappa, 78. "We respect the leadership and contribution of Yediyurappaji. But now he has not got that spirit, that strength to run the government because of the age and health factor," he said. "All ministers are unhappy with the Yediyurappa government," he said after his meeting with Arun Singh. "(Prime Minister Narendra) Modiji is constantly telling us dynastic rule is dangerous. What is going on in Karnataka is the same thing. The Karnataka BJP has forgotten Modiji. I told him public opinion about the government is becoming negative."
