    Yediyurappa said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP chief JP Nadda "have special love and faith toward me." He said, "You should know that no position is given to those who have crossed 75 years of age in the party, but appreciating my work, they have given me an opportunity despite the fact that I am 78 years old."

    Yesterday, Yediyurappa asked supporters to not protest

    On Wednesday, the veteran leader had dropped another hint regarding his resignation. In the wake of more vocal opposition from his supporters against any move to replace him, he tweeted to urge everyone to act as per "party ethics and not indulge in protests/indiscipline." He also reiterated that he is a loyal BJP worker and served the party with the "highest standards of ethics."
