Bangalore:29 Jan 2013 KG Bopaiah, Speaker of the Karnataka Assembly, is expected to meet the loyalists of former chief minister and KJP president BS Yeddyurappa on Tuesday. The meeting comes a day after two BJP MLAs sought the disqualification of Yeddyurappa loyalists for alleged anti-party activities. In their petition, the BJP MLAs said they have proof to show that the 12 party MLAs loyal to Yeddyurappa took part in the KJP rally in Haveri on December 9. After quitting the BJP, Yeddyurappa had floated the KJP at a convention at Haveri on December 9 last year. The KJP is preparing to give a tough fight to thr ruling BJP in the state Assembly Elections due later this year. Thirteen MLAs loyal to Yeddyurappa had on Wednesday tried to meet Speaker Bopaiah to submit their resignation from the Assembly membership. As Bopaiah was not present, they had submitted their resignations to Governor HR Bhardwaj. On Monday, BJP president Rajnath Singh and Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar had held talks, post which the former said he was confident about the Karnataka government completing its term. |
