"BJP may face the wrath of Lingayats, if they ill treat tall leader CM of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa. BJP should value contribution of BS Yediyurappa and treat him with dignity. This is my personal opinion, understanding that the proposed changes maybe internal matters of the BJP," the tweet read. As a Lingayat, Mr Yediyurappa represents a dominant caste in Karnataka - seen as a BJP vote base. This is believed to be one of the reasons for his clout in the party over the years.
