New Delhi: A confident Karnataka Chief Minister, BS Yeddyurappa, is set to meet the President on Monday after the Centre rejected Karnataka Governor, HR Bharadwaj's report recommending President's Rule in the state.
The Karnataka CM arrived in the Capital last night with some of his ministers.
"It is the victory of the people of Karnataka. I take this opportunity to thank the honorable Prime Minister and the Union Law Minister to take an appropriate decision," Yeddyurappa said.
"I am immediately going to request the government to recall the Governor," he said.
The decision was taken by the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) presided over by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi, shortly after the conclusion of the second anniversary celebrations of the UPA-II Government last night.
Even as it rejected his report, the CCPA has asked the Home Ministry to write to the Karnataka Government bringing to its notice the issues mentioned by the Governor.
This may be one of the rare instances when the Centre has rejected the recommendations of a Governor for imposition of President's Rule.
