Mysore/Mysuru: Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha Member V. Sreenivasa Prasad has said that BJP High Command may have directed Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to step down from his post on the issue of age. “ It is between the CM and the High Command and I do not have any say in this,” he said.
Talking to reporters at his residence yesterday, he said the BJP Government came to power with support of 17 MLAs from Congress and Janata Dal (Secular). And, at that time the High Command might have asked Yediyurappa to rule for two years and then step down. The BJP has set a rule that no leader must hold the executive post after crossing 75 years of age. For this reason, the incumbent CM may have decided to make an honourable exit on the same day of completing two years in office.
