Yeddy changes tactics, to miss BJP meet

Miffed over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) top brass sidelining him, the sulking Karnataka strongman B S Yeddyurappa said on Saturday that he would not attend the party national executive in Mumbai on 24-25 May.

'I will not attend the party national executive,' Yeddyurappa, who recently pushed the party government to a crisis that had threatened its survival, told reporters. However, he sought to set at rest speculation about his future political moves, saying he will not join any political outfit, including the Congress. 'There is speculation that I am going to join the Congress. It is far from the truth. There is no question of my joining any political party,' Yeddyurappa said, after meeting people at his new Public Meeting Centre.

Yeddyurappa's reaction came against the backdrop of comments made by some Congress leaders over admitting the former chief minister into the party.

He said he would tour the state after 30 May to know the pulse of the people and take an appropriate decision on his future.

After sparking a crisis with nine ministers and several MLA loyal to him submitting their resignations, Yeddyurappa however, announced a few days ago that he had deferred his decision to quit the party.
