“There is no proposal before the high command for seeking Yediyurappa’s resignation,” Joshi told reporters at Hubballi in the state’s northwest region hours after the Chief Minister said that he was ready to resign if the party’s leadership wanted him to do so.

Joshi is BJP’s fourth-term Lok Sabha member from Dharwad constituency, about 430km northwest of Bengaluru.

Ruling out change of leadership, Joshi said the party was focused only on containing the Covid pandemic’s second wave, which claimed 31,580 lives and infected 26,95,523 people across the southern state till Saturday.

“The party is seized of only one issue and that is how to handle the Covid-19 situation and not leadership change,” reiterated Joshi.
