										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following B S Yediyurappa passed down his resignation as Karnataka Chief Minister to Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot, the Congress blamed the BJP of “atrocious maladministration” and “trying to dictate BSY to offer his resignation.”</p>
<p>Congress politician Randeep Singh Surjewala stated in a twitter message that &#8220;Delhi&#8217;s despotism decides CM&#8217;s, not the will of BJP&#8217;s MLA&#8217;s.&#8221; Surjewala went on to say that Prime Minister Narendra Modi &#8220;habitually abuses and compulsorily puts top BJP Leaders in the trash of history.&#8221;</p>
<p>Surjewala added that B S Yediyurappa is the “latest member of the ‘mandatory retirement club,” saying, “The embarrassment, agony, and humiliation showered upon Sh. B.S.Yediyurappa by Modi ji, mandating his withdrawal, makes him PM&#8217;s newest victim and part of the ‘forced retirement club.”</p>
