Karnataka Minister Eshwarappa Says Some Within BJP Want CM Yediyurappa Replaced

News 18  

Karnataka BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday once again ruled out the possibility of a leadership change in the State, even as senior Minister KS Eshwarappa acknowledged that a section within the party is of the view that Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa should be replaced. The statements have come as the BJP national general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Arun Singh's three-day visit to the state began on Wednesday amid speculations in some quarters about leadership change. His visit comes amid growing disgruntlement among a section of BJP legislators like Hubli-Dharwad MLA Arvind Bellad and Tourism Minister C P Yogeshwar who have made visits to Delhi to meet national leaders and expressed the feeling of some legislators against Yediyurappa's style of functioning and requested them to rein in the Chief Minister. Leaders like MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and MLC A H Vishwanath have been embarrassing the government with their statements against the functioning of the government and the Chief Minister, alleging interference from Yediyurappa's younger son and state BJP vice president B Y Vijayendra in administration.
