“I tell the prime minister: take a decision before leaving abroad if you are to retain the respect that I have for you,” he said in the coastal city of Mangalore.

Yeddyurappa said when BJP and NDA leaders met Singh last week,the delegation was told nothing unconstitutional would be done vis-a-vis the governor’s special report,adding,he has full faith in the prime minister and Home Minister P Chidambaram that it would not be accepted.

But he warned,”I will perhaps wait only for two days. After that,our ministers and MPs may have to change the format of agitational programme. That may become inevitable for us.”

Earlier in Bangalore,Yeddyurappa also said the opposition Congress and JDS want to dislodge the government as it is popular and has people’s support and they feared that if it continued in office,they would be “destroyed” and would “bite the dust”
