Haveri (Karnataka): Former BJP Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa Saturday
asserted that around 10 BJP ministers and 50 legislators in the
state were with him.
His claim came just hours after BJP struck at two of his
supporters in the party. Cooperation minister B.J. Puttaswamy was
sacked from the cabinet while G.S. Basavaraj, Lok Sabha member
from Tumkur, about 70km from Bangalore, was suspended from the
party.
"The BJP should realise that it is running a coalition government
(in Karnataka) with my supporters. Around 10 (BJP) ministers and
50 legislators are my supporters," he said in this north Karnataka
town, about 350 km from Bangalore.
The BJP has 118 members in the 225-member assembly and 44 in the
75-member legislative council.
Yeddyurappa, who quit BJP Nov 30, is taking over as president of
Karnataka Janata Party at a public meeting here Sunday.
He said Saturday's action against his two supporters meant the
fall of the BJP government, headed by Jagadish Shettar, is near.
Meanwhile Karnataka Governor H. R. Bhardwaj accepted Shettar's
recommendation to drop Puttaswamy from the cabinet, a Raj Bhavan
communique said in Bangalore.
