Bharatiya Janata Party Chief JP Nadda on Sunday, 25 July, appreciated Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa for the "work he is doing in Karnataka".

Nadda further said, "He is handling things on his own".

Nadda was answering a question at a press conference held in Panaji, Goa. When asked about rift in the Bharatiya Janata Party in Karnataka, he rebutted without clearly commenting on speculation about leadership change in the state, "You think that (there is a crisis). We don't think so".

Yediyurappa had said, earlier on Sunday, that the BJP High Command will issue a statement by evening about his future as the chief minister of the state.
