Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa hints at resignation after July 26 amid exit rumours

At a time when rumours about his exit are doing the rounds, BS Yediyurappa has hinted that he might not continue as the Karnataka Chief Minister after July 26.

BS Yediyurappa on Thursday hinted that he might not continue as the Chief Minister of Karnataka. Reiterating his earlier statement, Yediyurappa said that he would accept any decision taken by the BJP high command after July 26, when his government completes two years. 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. "I had said two months ago that I'd resign if the high command says so. There are always other leaders," Yediyurappa said, while adding that he would go back to work as a party worker in the street if the BJP asks him.
