A combative former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Tuesday held confabulations with his supporters, as he sought to give a major push to his resolve to float a regional party and claimed support of a significant section of legislators and MPs from the state.
Speaking to reporters after a three-hour meeting, the defiant estranged leader reiterated his decision to form the outfit and said MLAs supporting him would not destabilise the Shettar govt.
Yeddyurappa is slated to formally announce the floating of the party at a public meeting in Haveri on 10 Dec. He claimed that 60 MLAs, 10-11 MPs and 18-20 MLAs attended the meeting. Water Resources Minister Basavaraja Bommai said MLAs, MLCs and MPs pledged their support. ‘We are behind you (Yeddyurappa)’ was the decision of the meeting.
