BJP Parliamentary Board member and former chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa has requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw the Z-category security that has been accorded to him.
It may be noted that the Union Home Ministry itself had accorded Z-category security to the octogenarian leader. While such a measure had come in the wake of reported threat perception to him, the announcement had been made days ahead of Mr. Yediyurappa’s scheduled State tour.
