Nobody pressurised me to resign: BS Yediyurappa

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Outgoing Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa said nobody pressurised him to resign. “I did it on my own so that someone else can take over as CM after completion of 2 years of govt. I’ll work to bring BJP back in power in the next election. I’ve not given name of anyone who should succeed me,” he said. 

Ending months of speculation, BS Yediyurappa on Monday announced his decision of stepping down from the position.

“I am grateful to PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP chief JP Nadda for giving me the opportunity to serve Karnataka for two years. I also thank the people of Karnataka & my constituency. I decided to resign 2 days back. The Governor has accepted my resignation,” Yediyurappa added.

His announcement came at a special event organised to present the government’s report card on the occasion of the completion of two years of the BJP-led state government in the current term, at Vidhana Soudha.”I have decided to resign. I will meet the Governor after lunch,” said Yediyurappa today.
