After making a strident campaign for his comeback, B S Yeddyurappa today said he would accept the decision of the central BJP leadership on utilising his services "in whatever capacity" as Karnataka Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda continued to insist there would be no change of guard.
"It is left to the party to take a decision on utilising my services in whatever capacity. I will accept whatever decision the party high command takes," Yeddyurappa, who had raised the pitch for his reinstatement as chief minister in recent days before agreeing to a temporary truce, told reporters here.
A day after returning from Delhi holding consultations with BJP Central leaders including party president Nitin Gadkari, L K Advani, Arun Jaitely and others, the former Karnataka Chief Minister said he had not insisted on any post, adding "I am confident the party will take an appropriate decision at an appropriate time."
Gowda, who also met central leaders in Delhi, dismissed a 'figment of imagination' reports about his resignation and claimed the party central leaders were happy about his governance and the budget presented by him.
"There is no change of guard in the state," said Gowda, who also described Yeddyurappa as the "unquestionable leader" of the state.
Noting that the Karnataka High Court has cleared Yeddyurappa in the illegal mining case filed against him on the basis of Lokayukta report, he hoped that the former chief minister would come clean in other corruption cases also.
It was left to the party high command to decide on what position should be given to Yeddyurappa, he told reporters.
