Don't Indulge In Protests Or Indiscipline, Act In Accordance With Party Ethics: Karnata CM Yediyurappa To Supporters

Amid speculation of change of leadership in the state, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Wednesday (21 July) appealed to party workers and supporters not to indulge in protests or issue statements, despite any political developments.

"I am privileged to be a loyal worker of BJP. It is my utmost honour to serve the party with the highest standards of ethics and behaviour. I urge everyone to act in accordance with party ethics and not indulge in protests or indiscipline that is disrespectful and embarrassing for the party," he said in a tweet in Kannada.

"The party is equivalent to my mother. The affection should not cross its limits. The disrespect towards the party would be too painful for me. I hope my well-wishers will understand my feelings in this regard," he wrote.

"CM also said that he would work for the party until his last breath," he added.
