Congress MLAs, Lingayat seers come out in Yediyurappa's support, say his removal will be BJP's end

Lingayat seers from various mutts and Congress MLAs from the community have said it would be the end for the BJP if BS Yediyurappa is not allowed to complete his full term as Karnataka's chief minister.

With uncertainty prevailing over Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's political future, he has started receiving support from influential members of the Lingayat community. These include Congress MLAs and seers heading powerful Lingayat mutts in Karnataka. @BJP4India May face the wrath of Lingayats, if they ill treat Tall leader @CMofKarnataka @bsybjp.@bjp4india shd value contribution of @bsybjp, & treat him with with dignityThis is my personal opinion, understanding that the proposed changes maybe internal matters of the BJP. Yediyurappa is himself a Lingayat, a highly influential community in Karnataka comprising nearly 17 per cent of the state's population.
