On this, the Chief Minister said that it would be known by Sunday evening or Monday morning. Once instructions come from the party high command, I will take an appropriate decision.
Chief Minister said, trust in PM Modi, Amit Shah, JP Nadda and other leaders
The Bangalore Conclave is being seen as an expression of party solidarity with Chief Minister Yeddyurappa. On this question, he said that there is no need to organize any meeting, I have faith in PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda and leaders. When asked about replacing him with a Dalit chief minister, Yediyurappa said, “I am not going to decide about it, it is for the high command to decide.”
Let us first see what they decide today.’ Asked if he was satisfied with his work for two years, he said, “If you are satisfied, it is enough for me.” Hinting that Monday may be his last day in office, Yediyurappa had recently said that he would do his work from today based on the instructions given by the central leader on July 25.
