Amid speculation over a possible change in leadership in the Karnataka BJP, Lingayat and other community seers in the state are rallying behind Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa. AH Vishwanath, a member of the legislative council from the BJP, has criticised the seers for doing so. Vishwanath said, "It is written in the Vidhan Soudha that 'Government's work is God's work'. The seers should not change it to 'Government's work is seers' work'. Things are moving in that direction now. Government's work should always be God's work and not swami jis' work. Are the seers going to change this?"
