Prominent ministers stay away from meet

While Janardhana Reddy was present, his brother Karunakara Reddy stayed away from the event.

It is said that Minister for Health and Family Welfare Sriramulu was busy attending four public functions in Bellary district.

Three party MPs Ramesh Jigajinagi, P C Gaddigoudar and K B Shanappa (Rajya Sabha) are said to have boycotted the meeting to express their displeasure against the style of functioning of the Chief Minister Yeddyurappa. Legislator A Ramdas too stayed away from the state executive.
