Bangalore: Former
Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa said Wednesday his new
party will decide Jan 4 on whether his supporters in the ruling
BJP should bring down the Jagadish Shettar government.
"The Shettar government has stopped all pro-poor programmes
launched by me and hence should quit immediately or should be
dismissed," he said addressing a rally of his Karnataka Janata
Part (KJP) here.
"Leaders of the KJP will meet Jan 4 to decide whether Shettar
government should stay or not," said Yeddyurappa, the Bharatiya
Janata Party's (BJP) first chief minister in Karnataka who quit
the party and assembly Nov 30 to lead the KJP.
The KJP, of which he became president Dec 9, held rallies in
Bangalore and several places in the state to protest the "BJP
government's failure to release money for pro-poor welfare
measures" launched by Yeddyurappa when he was chief minister
between 2008-2011.
Yeddyurappa was forced to quit July last year over mining bribery
charges.
The former chief minister claims that around 50 of BJP's 118
members, including several ministers, in the 225-member assembly
support him and would join the KJP "at appropriate time".
He has also been claiming that the Shettar government has been
reduced to minority as 14 BJP assembly members had shared the dais
with him Dec 9 for the formal launch of the KJP.
However, none of them has quit the party nor has the BJP taken any
action against him, though it has been threatening to do so.
After the rally at Freedom Park in Bangalore city centre,
Yeddyurappa led his supporters in a march to Vidhana Soudha, the
state secretariat about two km away, to demand Shettar's
resignation if his government was unable to properly implement the
programmes.
Shettar, however, was away in Gujarat to attend the swearing in
ceremony of party colleague Narendra Modi as chief minister.
