A day after BS Yediyurappa said he will resign from the top post if the BJP High Command wishes so, 65 MLAs have come out in support of the Karnataka Chief Minister.

A day after Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa said he will resign from the top post if the BJP high command asks him to, 65 MLAs have reportedly written a letter, demanding action against MLAs who were rebelling against the chief minister. Addressing the speculation over a leadership change in Karnataka, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday had said that he will continue to hold the top post as long as the BJP high command has "confidence in him" and will resign only when they ask him. "...till the high command has confidence in me, I'll be chief minister. The day they say they don't want me, I'll resign and work for the state. I'm working for the opportunity given to me," CM Yediyurappa said.
