Murmurs are growing in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its President Nitin Gadkari’s resignation, following several allegations of corruption levelled against him recently. After Ram Jethmalani’s advice to Gadkari to step down, it is now the turn of a close aide of former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, M D Lakshminarayana, a member of the Karnataka legislative Assembly, to demand that the BJP president should resign. The significance being that when Yeddyurappa was facing similar corruption charges, Gadkari had made him resign to stop political attacks against the party.
