New Delhi : The names of Karnataka minister Jagdish Shettar, state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief K.S. Eshwarappa and MP Ananth Kumar are doing the rounds as the replacement for Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, who was Thursday asked to quit by the party.
Speculation is rife about his successor, with the BJP deciding to remove Yeddyurappa after he was indicted by the Lokayukta for the illegal mining in the state.
Shettar, the rural development minister, is a Lingayat leader like Yeddyurappa. One of the reasons for not asking Yeddyurappa to resign during the last crisis when he was indicted in a land scam was the huge Lingayat vote bank backing him.
