BS Yeddyurappa dares BJP to act against MLAs who attended his rally

Amid loud cheers from thousands, former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa took over as President of his newly-minted Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) at a massive rally in Haveri in north Karnataka on Sunday. With that, Mr Yeddyurappa put an end to the months of threats, behind-the-scene bargaining and public displays of strong emotion that had followed his bitter fallout with his former party, the BJP, which he finally quit in November this year.
