No Leadership Change in K'taka, CM Bommai is Doing a Good Job: Yediyurappa

News 18  

Amid a fresh round of speculation about leadership change in Karnataka ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit, state BJP strongman B S Yediyurappa on Monday dismissed it, saying Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai was doing a "good job." "The current Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is doing a good job, so there will be no leadership change according to me," he added. To a question as to whether some sitting MLAs may not get party ticket to contest the elections, citing BJP national general secretary B L Santosh's speech hinting about possible changes, Yediyurappa said he wouldn't like to discuss the matter, and added that it was for the party's central leadership to decide. Santhosh's statement on Sunday that the party's strength lies in the induction of new faces had set off a fresh round of speculation over leadership change in the state.
