Renukacharya talks tough

MYSORE: Excise Minister M.P. Renukacharya on Saturday said party leaders should resign if they oppose the leadership of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.

Speaking to presspersons here, Mr. Renukacharya — who had raised a banner of revolt against Mr. Yeddyurappa in the past and took ‘rebel' MLAs to resorts — said that there was no rift in the Bharatiya Janata Party on the leadership issue and Mr. Yeddyurappa will remain as the Chief Minister.

When asked about the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy's reported statement on taking a break from active politics, the Minister said he should take political “sanyas” if he had any concern for the State. “His [Kumaraswamy] reported decision will be good for the State,” the Minister said.
