BANGALORE : There are all indications of yet another dissidence sparking off in the state BJP with reports saying that a faction of the BJP has already kickstarted the dissident activities at a resort, even as the Congress and the JD(S) are making a veiled attempt to bring down the BJP government, to have a coalition government.
Reports say that a total of 21 legislators including the MLAs who have identified themselves with the Reddy faction met at the Silver Home Resort near Yelahanka in the outskirts of the capital and held serious discussions on their future course of action in the backdrop of the CM’s failure to respond to their demands despite the latter yielding to the demands of the mine barons.
The 21 MLAs included the three BJP ministers who had abstained from the assembly session and five independent ministers. The meet was led by Honnali Legislator Renukacharya and attended among others by minister Goolihatti Shekhar, Shivaraj Tangadagi and PM Narendraswamy.
The meet decided to pressurize the chief minister to drop eight cabinet members including Basavaraj Bommai, Murugesh Nirani, Haratal Halappa and CM Udasi and to induct Renukacharya, Gopalkrishna Belur and SK Bellubbi in their place.
Reliable sources revealed that the dissidents this time are firm that they would not succumb to pressure from any corner.
