BS Yeddyurappa, former chief minister of Karnataka and state BJP Chief, spoke to NDTV on the political crisis in the state and said Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy should "resign immediately". Mr Kumaraswamy "should step down as the coalition government is no longer in a majority," he said. On Congress's claims that the BJP is behind the political crisis, he said: "We only support the resignations of the rebel legislators. We are not behind them."
