BJP central leadership assures firm support to Yeddyurappa | BJP's central leadership has reportedly extended firm support to Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, assuring him that no change will be done in the state leadership as demanded by the warring Reddy brothers. "Under the leadership of the law minister, the home minister,
and Ganesh Karnik - we met Mr L K Advani, leader of the opposition in the Lok
Sabha, Ms Sushma Swaraj who is the deputy leader of the Lok Sabha and also our
national president Rajnath Singhji. I must tell you they are all of the single
and very firm view that whatever circumstances, there is no change in leadership
of Karnataka BJP Legislature party, and no change in leadership of the state government,"
Yeddyurappa's representative Dhananjay Kumar told reporters here. Earlier in the
day, Karnataka Home Minister V S Acharya and former MP Dhananjay Kumar held talks
with BJP senior leader L K Advani to discuss the crisis in the state. Meanwhile,
Karnataka Speaker Jagadish Shettar, who is close to the Reddy brothers -- Janardhan
Reddy and G Karunakar Reddy -- met senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley today. Jaitley
had spent three days in Karnataka last week to resolve the crisis. After he failed
to convince the dissidents, leaders from both the camps were asked to visit the
capital to find a solution to the problem. The first BJP Government in the south
India was rocked by infighting after the influential Reddy brothers renewed their
dissident activities, breaking the truce brought about a few months ago when they
first raised the banner of revolt. Striking back at the dissidents, Yeddyurappa
had ordered mass transfer of officials of Bellary district from where the dissident
ministers hail, and hinted at action against the rebel leaders, further angering
them. Yeddyurappa said the issues would be resolved. Reddy brothers are expected
to reach Delhi on Monday while Yeddyurappa will be in New Delhi on November 4. |
