Yediyurappa Doing "Great Job", Won't Step Down: BJP's Karnataka in-charge

Karnataka in-charge Arun Singh said, "If some MLAs are angry then they can put their point before us. Any MLA can express his displeasure on the party forum itself".

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will not be removed from his post, the BJP's central leadership made it clear today amid demands that he step down over allegations of "interference". BJP general secretary and Karnataka in-charge Arun Singh said Mr Yediyurappa will continue as the Chief Minister. Assuring that he would visit Karnataka soon, Mr Singh said, "If some MLAs are angry then they can put their point before us. Any MLA can express his displeasure on the party forum itself". Mr Yediyurappa, he added, is doing a "great job". Recently, senior Minister KS Eshwarappa -- in charge of the Rural Development portfolio -- had also complained to the Governor, accusing the Chief Minister of interfering in his department.
