Amit Shah supports Yediyurappa's leadership, shuts down leadership change controversy

Union Home Minister and BJP Chanakya Amit Shah has clearly stated that BS Yeddyurappa will continue to serve as the Chief Minister of Karnataka, putting to rest all the controversy about a leadership change.

Bengaluru: Union Home Minister Amit Shah's two-day state tour has become a boon for Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa. Leadership change controversy has closed and this gave a harsh message for the unhappy and rebel MLAs.

The BJP High Command has closed the controversy of leadership change that has been heard since BJP came to power. BJP national president JP Nadda and PM Narendra Modi agreed to Amith shah's decision, and now Amith shah closed the controversy of leadership change in the state.

Union Home Minister and BJP Chanakya Amit Shah toured the state for two days on January 16 and 17. He was involved in government programs and party programs. On all sides, he gave statements in favour of Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa. He also appreciated the steps taken by the Yeddyurappa government during the Corona pandemic.

Amith shah gave the message as, Yeddyurappa will be the chief minister for the remaining two and a half years, the BJP government will be there, and take responsibility to bring BJP government into power in next election also.

Amit Shah also admonished BJP state leaders at the BJP core committee special meeting. He questioned BJP state president Nalin Kumar Katil and other core committee members, why they are silent even if MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal is repeatedly making statements against Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa. "Blaming CM, again and again, is not good. Party must stay with CM. If someone is unhappy for not getting a minister post, they must tell it within the party. Instead, they should not give public statements. If someone does so, take strict action," Shah said.

Amit Shah's statement against Yatnal has disturbed those who shouted for a leadership change. It has also broken the rebellion.

CM's preparation before Amit Shah's arrival:

Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa's plan was to send a clear message to the people and activists on the issue of leadership change was done even before the state tour of Amith shah. CM did not make a single statement, despite there being repeated outcry by few rebel MLAs on leadership changes from many days. However, the first time since the State Executive meeting in Shimoga took place, the CM had responded to the leadership change and said that there will be no leadership change and he'll continue to remain the CM.

Earlier, BJP state chief Arun Singh had also clarified about the leadership change controversy. He had openly praised CM Yeddyurappa in both Bangalore and Shimoga programmes. He had also announced that BSY will be the chief minister.

When Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa went to Delhi, he had discussed the issue of leadership change controversy. He had made an appeal to Amith shah to end this confusion. The two-day Amit Shah state tour is over and Amit Shah has stated that BSY will complete the CM term in the government.

BSYleadership Safe:

The Yeddyurappa leadership is safe for now. With Amit Shah's warning, it is difficult for the rebels to demand leadership change or revolt for a few days. Rebel activities will be reduced due to strict warnings on public statements. So, CM Yeddyurappa can make the minister's post allocation and budget congregation.
