Yeddyurappa wants chief ministership, BJP rules out change of guard
BS Yeddyurappa wants the Karnataka's chief minister's chair back or a senior party post and is flexing some muscle. Enough muscle to have forced his party the BJP to cancel Day 2 of a state 'chintan baithak' called to discuss the party's Karnataka strategy after a series of scandals and scams have seriously dented its equity. Party chief Nitin Gadkari is in Bangalore for that meeting; he met Mr Yeddyurappa this morning, but has played down the crisis and also ruled out a change of guard in Karnataka.
