Speaking to reporters here, Yediyurappa said the central leaders have taken the opinion on the LOP and state chief. The matter is likely to be discussed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP National President J.P. Nadda.
"We are hoping that a decision would be taken in this regard and we will abide by the decision of the party high command," he said.
Sources explained that senior BJP leaders Vinod Tawde and Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, who came to the state as observers, will submit their report to the party high command this day. The observers had taken the opinion of each legislator and party leaders till late night on Tuesday.

Union Minister for State Shobha Karandlaje's name is being considered for the post of state President.
Both candidates are supported by Yediyurappa.
