New Delhi, May 23 (PTI) Notwithstanding Centre rejecting H R Bhardwaj's recommendation on imposing President's rule in Karnataka, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa today said he would continue to demand the recall of the Governor, who "acted in a partisan manner".
"I compliment the Government of India for taking the decision not to accept the Karnataka Governor's recommendation to keep the Assembly in suspended animation. It is a great victory for democracy and for my government which enjoys a clear majority," Yeddyurappa told reporters here.
After the Centre rejected his recommendation last night, Bhardwaj gave his consent to the Cabinet's recommendation to convene the Assembly session from June 2.
However, this did not placate Yeddyurappa and the BJP and the party has decided not to give up its demand for the Governor's recall.
"This was nothing but a political conspiracy of the Congress party.
