Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa urged his followers not to "indulge in protests" which embarrass the BJP in a tweet on Wednesday night.

Amid speculation over a possible change in leadership in the Karnataka BJP, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday night took to Twitter to urge his followers not to "indulge in protests and indiscipline that is disrespectful and embarrassing for the party". 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. This comes only hours after members of the Veerashaiva Lingayat organisation protested against the BJP high command in Gulbarga district of Karnataka over rumours of Yediyurappa being replaced.
