Yeddyurappa envoys meet Advani | Leaders backing B S Yeddyurappa on Sunday held talks with BJP senior leader L K Advani in the wake of demands for
the Karnataka Chief Minister's removal by the Reddy brothers. Karnataka Home Minister
V S Acharya and former MP Dhananjay Kumar met Advani to discuss the crisis in
the state. Both the leaders have tried to convince the central leadership that
there should be no change of guard. 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. |
