Cancellation of legislature party meeting seen as BSY’s attempt to buy time
Even as Veerashaiva-Lingayat seers continue to make a beeline for the Chief Minister’s residence to express support, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, who is learnt to have expressed willingness to resign during his recent trip to New Delhi, has been sending mixed signals to the party over the last two days. Amidst speculations that the legislature party meeting he had earlier called on July 26, the second anniversary of the government, could become a platform for his exit, the Chief Minister cancelled not only the meet, but also a dinner for MLAs on its eve. This is being seen as the Chief Minister’s attempt to buy time. More than 100 Veerashaiva-Lingayat seers expressed their unconditional support to the Chief Minister on Wednesday, prominent among them Siddalinga Swami of Siddaganga Mutt, Tumakuru. “We wish the Chief Minister completes his full term, as during his previous stint he had to resign midway. The seers unequivocally support his continuation,” said Siddalinga Swami, who met the Chief Minister at his residence.
