Yeddyurappa loyalists to attKarnataka Assembly
Bangalore: The BJP's trouble continues in Karnataka, with former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa refusing to budge and demanding reinstatement. However, a temporary truce seems to have been worked out about not disrupting the budget presentation scheduled on Wednesday.
"I'm presenting the budget tomorrow. We'll do the budget discussion on March 26 and 27 and vote on account on March 28," Karnataka Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda said.
A temporary compromise seems to have been worked out as not allowing the budget to be presented could well lead to a Constitutional crisis, and thatcould even attract President's rule. But Yeddyurappa's loyalists who have been camping at the resort say they will in no way budge from their core demand.
In New Delhi, 13 MPs are also stepping up pressure on the BJP high command to reinstate him as the Karnataka Chief Minister. The party that touts its anti-corruption stance is caught in a bind.
"We discussed with Central leader, it has reacted positively,"Yedydurappa's son BY Raghav ra said.
As the government needs the Yeddyurappa camp to pass the budget, the party knows that Yeddyurappa won't really think of taking the extreme step of quitting the party either.
