Dissidents insist on Yeddyurappa's removal
Bangalore/New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS)
Karnataka Tourism Minister G. Janardhan Reddy, who leads the campaign for the removal of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, on Saturday said there was no change in his stand and rubbished reports of a compromise between the warring groups.

"The party leaders have not given us any such thing. I am confident they will take the right decision in the next two days," Janardhana Reddy told reporters in Hyderabad after overnight discussions with ministers and legislators supporting him. Around 40 legislators, including some ministers, supporting the demand for Yeddyurappa's ouster have been staying in a star hotel in Hyderabad for a week. Reddy later flew to Bangalore to meet his elder brother and Revenue Minister G. Karunakara Reddy. The third Reddy sibling G. Somashekara is a legislator. Janardhana Reddy's reiteration of the dissidents' stand came as Yeddyurappa claimed in New Delhi that "everything has been resolved". Yeddyurappa told reporters before leaving to pray at Vaishno Devi temple in Jammu and Kashmir that he was "thankful to the party leadership for reposing faith in me. I will take everyone into confidence", he added. According to reports, the compromise formula includes dropping some ministers close to Yeddyurappa, making assembly speaker Jagadish Shettar a minister, setting up a coordination committee to oversee functioning of the government, final say for the Reddy brothers in posting officials in their home district Bellary, about 400 km from Bangalore, and transfer of chief minister's principal secretary V.P. Baligar. Yeddyurappa on Friday shunted out Baligar as principal secretary of the industries and commerce department. He has also agreed to drop the lone woman minister Shobha Karandlaje, who holds the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj portfolio.

Its such a targedy that one of the finest states in india has been brought down due to the inefficiency of the yedyurappa government and the hunger for more and more money for the reddys.Come, on the iron ore is the property of the Government of india and the total iron ore mining should be nationalisesd and handed over to NMDC. BJP for once came to power in south India and has become a laughing stock due to the Money power of the reddys and mishnadling of the situation by CM/High command -- ???, Poor Yedyurappa had to cry on national television for the sake of "loyalist" ministers ---

Bangalore has become chaos city under BJP leadership.Roads are not completed in time,and citizen facilities are promised on paper.Tax money is misused and not administered for the welfare of people.Money is spent on unnecessary priorities,without solving unemployment and poverty removal programmes.Rich is becoming rich,the poor are thrown to dogs,making condition like dog eating dog.Corruption is not curtailed and government institution is not rendering any meaningful service.It is time for change.Let good prevail over evil.Let there be economic equality for all.

Its all money game, Reddy and Yeddy, Reddy fighting for more ore extraction in bellary under the hat of their own officials, who are benefiting, the people or reddy. Yeddy wants to keep his officials to save his own seat, who is benefiting, the people or yeddy. Wake up kannadigas, vote for educated politicians who can do some thing for u.

These politicians should come out individually and justify their action, so that public can understand the exact reason for this coup.

Janardhan Reddy deserves to be the CM of Karnataka. Reddys are totally responsible in forming a BJP Govt in Karnataka. Janardhan Reddy should the CM.

Stop talking nonsense. Reddys were involved in winnning around 7 seats. Aftermath of government formation would have taken place even if Reddys would not have been there. Now dont tell me Reddys were involved in winning 100 seats!!! Ur analysis is good for Tamilnad politics Iyer

Yes, so that they can loot the entire State and then target the nation. Money, in the hands of these politicians, is playing the game. I only pray that these politicians are exposed just like Madhu Koda.

Niyaz y BJP is like hot chilli to u people because u r a muslim and BJP is a pro hindu according to u? It was BJP which a muslim Abdul Kalam as president of India and supported for 2nd term but it is congress opposed Abdul Kalam and made Pratibha Patil as presidenti of India. What is the level of this Pratibha patil and the level of Abdul Kalam, u tell me man. What kind of politics it is. U may want to see India as Islamic state in the hand of this foolish congress party but mind it it will never happen.

Sujal.. Niyaz neither said he is a muslim or propogated about Islam. You are just trying to flush out your mind what you think about muslims. The topic of discussion is about the current political drama in Karnataka.... stick to the discussion. God bless our peaceful state...Karnataka. - Kannadiga in Philadelphia

Yadiyurappa won the elction and become CM using Reddys money . He should have thought before taking these people in his party and using their money. All these BJP big wigs used to fly by Copters sponsored by Reddy.Only Congress Can give stable govt. I think we should bring Veerappa Moily here to Karnataka back.

Well said Anil.. we should bring back Moily so that at least we give due rewards for what he did CET otherwise many of us would never become engineers or doctors. He is much better compared to caste biased Yeddi and money mongering Reddy. Bring back Moily or Make Siddu next CM.

Yadiyurappa should simply resign from his post.If his MLAs doesnt have confidence with CM ,he has no moral ground to stick to this chair.Let Yadiyurappa or Janardhana Reddy should form own parties and fight the election.

Is there any other hidden agenda of the dissidents ? Even after Yeddi compromising with their demands as known to public, call for removal is still being pursued....

In Karnataka the democracy is at its wits end. If the national parties aim only to win elections by hook or cook without following any good principles in building the cadres, encouraging the devoted rank and file, selecting the electoral candidates out of those qualified, enlightened and committed ranks, the result will be the "reddy brothers", shameless goons only pursuing their own vested interests in a blunt and brazen manner. The way the Congress has dealt with "mohan reddy" with firm hand... the BJP should learn. It should not sacrifice the basic tenets of good governance in a democracy by stooping to the money power.

why go so far. bury them in their own (sic) mines. they have illegally looted enough from those mines, so govt. should not spend any more money transporting them all the way to the arabian sea.

Yeddi is an Idiot. Instead of attending to the urgent work, is attending temples and sadhus, Wonder why Karnataka voted for a fool like Yeddurappa? High time president rule is imposed on Karnataka.

Our CM has nothing to face the challenges by aggressively handling the issue; but to go visit temples... now Vaishnav Devi. Work is God written on Vidhana Saudha... just stay where you are and help the State prosper and face the challenges. Regarding Reddy bros.... they are Shame less Selfish creatures... need to burry in their own mines.... The State need change... enough of Drama weather is JD or BJP....
