After days of unrest, the crisis in the Karnataka unit of the BJP is finally over, this after chief minister BS Yeddyurappa met one of the rebel Reddy brothers for the first time on Sunday, at Sushma Swaraj's residence in New Delhi, since the crisis began.
A compromise formula was finally worked out on Sunday and Reddy brothers have accepted the new formula according to which a coordination committee would be formed to discuss all issues. Yeddyurappa and Janardan Reddy will be part of the panel.
Also, Yeddyurappa has been advised to take along everyone with him. Reddy brothers' demand for restoring District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police of Bellary will also be considered.
