Shivamogga, Jul 22: Minister K S Eshwarappa, has asked everyone to shut up on the issue of state leadership change.

Speaking to the media persons here on Wednesday July 21, he said that the national leadership of the party knows what should be done. "State BJP in-charge, Arun Singh, had come here and collected opinions from all the concerned and brought the outcome to the notice of the central leadership. It is not advisable in the interests of the party for the legislators to shoot their mouths at will on the issue. BJP is a national party and there is a certain measure of discipline involved. Everyone including me have confirmed that we will be bound by the decision which the party leaders take. Several Swamijis had met the chief minister (CM), and he also said that he is bound by the decision of the central leadership of the party," he stated.

He termed the blaming of Pegasus for the downfall of the coalition government in the state as stupidity. He advised those who lost power to behave responsibly and honourably. He questioned them whether their government would have fallen if the party leaders had held all the legislators together.
