Bengaluru: Chairman of the BS Minister Yediyurappa on Thursday gave a sufficient indication that the exit was near and said he would obey the BJP Central Leadership Decision about his political future.
The 78-year-old linglayat added that he offered to resign two months ago to make a way for others and confirmed that he would not mention the name of the successor even if asked to do so.
Breaking his silence for the first time in the middle of a strong buzz that he would resign on July 26, Yediyurappa said he was waiting for instructions from the high command on Sunday.
“I don’t have a message (about continuation like CM).
This is my duty to obey what they are (high command) say.
I will continue as CM as long as they want.
Either in power or not, I will continue to tour the country and strengthen party, ” he said.
He said he would continue to work as usual.
On Friday, he will check the development work such as the construction of roads and storm waterways in Bengaluru.
“I will do my job to the end; Let’s see what happens, “said CM.
He hinted he would not hold if the high command asked him to resign.
He stacked praise with the brass party.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and JP Nadda had love and special faith in me , At our party, those with more than 75 years were not given any posts.
However, appreciating my work, they gave me the opportunity to serve as the main minister, “he said.
The change of tone of ‘no one asked me to resign and I will continue as CM’ to ‘I will obey the high command decision’ – shows he will leave soon.
Asked whether a co-partner had to replace him, he said, “I will not put pressure like that.
Why did you come to a decision like that so fast? Who to make (the next cm) was handed over to the central leadership.
I don’t give anyone’s name, There is no need for that.
“He said there would be a special program on June 26, the day he finished two years in the office.
“We will release a booklet about the development work taken over the past two years.
I will notify people about my achievements,” he said.
In New Delhi, the Secretary General of the National BJP Incharge from Karnataka Arun Singh, who has denied leadership changes and said Yediyurappa will continue in the office for full terms in Bengaluru last month, ducked questions about leadership.
“I will discuss it several times a cup of tea,” he told reporters.
Yediyurappa’s son and MP Shivamogga by Raghavendra said: “The party has given everything to my father.
He will obey the decision of the high command.” There is speculation that the rebel-JDS MLAS congress, who defected the minister in the Cabinet Yediyurappa, will resign to extend his support.
Some then soar like that.
“This is a baseless report,” said Patil BC Agriculture Minister BC.
