Facing the heat after Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa came under attack for allegedly favouring his sons in land allotments, the BJP top brass has decided to take a call on the issue.
Party sources said Yeddyurappa has offered to surrender all the land alloted to his sons and order a judicial inquiry into the issue.
However, a faction within the party led by senior leader Ananth Kumar want Yeddyurappa to step down saying the land scam has taken the sting out of the BJP attack on the UPA government over 2-G Spectrum, Adarsh Society and CWG.
The BJP Core Group will also chalk out its strategy in Parliament in case the government does not agree to its demand for a JPC probe into the three scams.
