BS Yediyurappa's Message To BJP In Tweets Amid Exit Rumours

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has been busy with meetings and has been racking up support from religious leaders and even a former Congress minister

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa this evening appealed to his colleagues in the BJP to "not indulge in protest and indiscipline", amid pressure over exit rumours after a meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week. Mr Yediyurappa's tweet is being seen as a subtle hint to the centre, at a time he has been racking up support from religious leaders and even a former Congress minister. I am privileged to be a loyal worker of BJP. It is my utmost honour to serve the party with highest standards of ethics & behaviour. I urge everyone to act in accordance with party ethics & not indulge in protests/indiscipline that is disrespectful & embarrassing for the party. Today, Mr Yediyurappa, 78, tweeted he has been a "loyal worker" of the BJP. "I am privileged to be a loyal worker of BJP. It is my utmost honour to serve the party with highest standards of ethics & behaviour. I urge everyone to act in accordance with party ethics & not indulge in protests/indiscipline that is disrespectful & embarrassing for the party," Mr Yediyurappa said. The Chief Minister's sudden trip to Delhi last week to meet the BJP's top leaders had raised questions about how long he would continue in his post. While in Delhi, when asked about rumours of a leadership change in the state BJP, he told reporters: "There is no truth in it. Not at all. Not at all. Not at all." He said the same after flying back to Bengaluru - that he would keep the post.
