Many are in the queue, if BSY resigns?

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has clearly indicated that he will abide by the party high command decision. Now the question is who after BSY? Amongst the first in the list would be former union minister Basanagowda Patil Yathnal. He is also a popular lingayat leader. If a non lingayat is selected to replace BSY, it may be Union Minister Prahallad Joshi or  BJP general secretary BLSantosh. Sadananda Gowda, a vokkaliga. Deputy cm Govinda Karjol and  minister Eshwarappa are also in the fray. If the party goes for young CM then Aravind Bellad will be the best choice. He is a two time MLA  from Dharwad.
