BJP today rejected Opposition parties demand for resignation of Karnataka Chief Minister in the wake of a Lokayukta report indicting him on illegal mining, claiming that B S Yeddyurappa had no "direct nexus"with mining activity.

"No, not at all," BJP spokesperson V Dhananjaya Kumar told PTI when asked if the Chief Minister would quit as demanded by the Congress.

According to him, Congress had recently rejected a Delhi Lokayukta report indicting Chief Minister Sheila Dixit and "so is the case with Lokayukta of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh". 

"Congress party in power in all these states has consistently rejected the report submitted by respective Lokayuktas. There cannot be two yardsticks -- one for the Congress and one for BJP", Kumar said.
