Yeddyurappa Defies High Command Again, Holds Ministers' Meeting
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore
Bangalore, Jul 28: This could be the beginning of another rebel activity in the state BJP unit, as despite the order from BJP high command to chief minister Yeddyurappa not to conduct any MLA/ministers' meeting, Yeddyurappa has gone ahead and called the state BJP MLAs and ministers to his Race Cource Road residence in Bangalore on Thursday, July 28 at 10.30 am.
At least 25 members of state legislative assembly and cabinet ministers are at the CM's house for a meeting, prominent among whom are Shohba Karandlaje, C T Ravi, Murugesh Nirani, Renukacharya, C M Udasi, Jivaraj, Katta Subramanyam, Yogish Bhat, Chandrakanth Bellad, Valmiki Nayak, Ayanur Manjunath, Umesh Katti and others.
In another interesting development, one-time political 'enemies' of Yeddyurappa, the Reddy brothers and other Bellary MLAs have announced their support to Yeddyurappa. They are expected to reach the CM's residence by Thursday morning.
BJP's state observer Dharmendra Pradhan is expected to reach Bangalore around 12.30 pm. He would meet the CM and other leaders in the state.
