Yeddyurappa convenes breakfast meeting of loyalists

Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa is at it again. He has convened a breakfast meeting of his loyalists on Friday morning at his Race Course Road residence.

The meeting has been timed to coincide with the concluding day of the budget session of the Legislature. Yeddyurappa, who has been making repeated bids to get himself reinstated as chief minister, had been told by the party central leadership to allow the smooth conduct of the budget session.

He had gathered a sizeable number of party MLAs at a resort on the eve of the budget session and had even threatened to boycott the session if his demand was not met. However, central leaders intervened and asked Yeddyurappa to have patience for some more time.
