As Karnataka Chief Minister after weeks of speculation, part of the action shifted to New Delhi and the national leadership of the BJP, which now has the task of evolving a consensus over his replacement. According to top sources in the BJP, general secretary organisation of the party and Karnataka leader B.L. Santhosh has left for Bengaluru. Possible central observer, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and national general secretary in charge of Karnataka Arun Singh are also likely to fly down to Bengaluru in a day. While no date for a legislature party meeting has been set till now, it will be sooner rather than later. Sources also said while many names were floating as a replacement for Mr. Yediyurappa, the priority would be chose from among the existing MLAs and only if a consensus after consulting MLAs was not arrived at, would someone other than an MLA be considered.More Related News
