Beleaguered Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa will resign soon as directed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) central leadership, the party’s state unit president K.S. Eshwarappa said Thursday.

“As a loyal and disciplined member of the party, Yeddyurappa will obey the decision of the high command and resign soon. Though the chief minister explained his position on the mining issue to the party president (Nitin Gadkari) late Wednesday, Yeddyurappa has no alternative than to step down in conformity with the leadership’s decision,” Eshwarappa told reporters here.

The first chief minister of the BJP in south India rushed to New Delhi late Wednesday to brief Gadkari and other party leaders on the Karnataka Lokayukta’s (ombudsman) final investigation report on the multi-crore mining scam in the state over the years.
