Presence of former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa in this northern Karnataka city Friday and his meeting with some ministers and lawmakers of the ruling BJP during the winter session of the state legislature rattled the party's state leaders.
Two days ahead of his maiden public rally - after quitting the Bharatiya Janata Party to join the fledgling Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) - Sunday at Haveri, Yeddyurappa held a hour-long meeting with a half-a-dozen ministers and about 30 legislators loyal to him.
‘I still have the support of about 30 legislators, including ministers and 30 more are ready to join me at the appropriate time. I came here to ascertain how the winter session is going on and how the state government was performing,’ Yeddyurappa told reporters after the interaction.
Among the ministers who interacted with Yeddyurappa were Umesh Katti, V. Somanna, B.J. Puttaswamy, Murgesh Nirani, M.P. Renukacharya, C.M. Udasi and the lone woman minister in the cabinet Shobha Karandlaje.
