Yediyurappa is doing good job, no plan to change Karnataka CM, he will continue: Arun Singh
"Yediyurappa is the Chief Minister, he is doing a good job and will remain the Chief Minister. He has done a good job during the Covid situation, all the Ministers and the party- everyone has done a good job," Singh said in Delhi.
FollowAmid speculations of leadership change in Karnataka, BJP National General Secretary in-charge of the state, Arun Singh on Thursday ruled out replacing the Chief Minister and asserted that BS Yediyurappa will continue in the top post.
There is no proposal before the BJP top brass to remove Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and State unit president Nalin Kumar Kateel, senior leader Arun Singh said on Thursday.
Singh said both Chief Minister and State unit president are doing extremely good work. There is no proposal before the party to unseat them, he said.
"Yediyurappa is the Chief Minister, he is doing a good job and will remain the Chief Minister. He has done a good job during the Covid situation, all the Ministers and the party- everyone has done a good job," Singh said in Delhi.
“No discussions have happened at the high command level regarding seeking resignation from the Chief Minister. Yediyurappa is doing a good job as the CM, he is working hard along with Ministers and legislators, the organisation is also functioning well..he (Yediyurappa) will continue (as CM)," he added.
Speculations have been rife for some time now that efforts were on, by a section of the ruling BJP to exert pressure for unseating Yediyurappa.
Amid reports, Yediyurappa on Sunday said he will continue in the top post as long as the BJP high command has confidence in him, and he had no confusion about it.
Responding to a question on Yediyurappa's statement, Singh said, the Chief Minister as a loyal party worker has expressed his faith in the leadership.
".. our high command is such that everyone, whether it is state presidents, Chief Ministers and leaders, have faith in the high command.
He also said that the BJP would not tolerate leaders making public statements on party affairs. "I will ask them why they make such statements, he said.
"The party will also not tolerate leaders initiating signature campaigns. I will be visiting Bengaluru next week and meeting all leaders. I will hear their grievances," he said.
