 The central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will discuss ways to counter the Congress’ demand for the resignation of the Reddy brothers on the illegal mining issue with Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and other state party leaders.
Many see the Congress’s latest salvo as a way of getting back at the BJP in the wake of the Shashi Tharoor issue.
“The strategy meeting is likely to take place on Wednesday evening in Delhi after the massive protest at Boat Club organised by the party’s central unit against price rise,” a top BJP leader told Express on Tuesday.
Yeddyurappa, who is in Malaysia, will reach Delhi on Wednesday morning.
State BJP president KS Eshwarappa, DV Sadananda Gowda, V Dhananjaya Kumar and Ramachandra Gowda will also be in Delhi.

 Around 1,000 people from Gudalur in Tamil Nadu have decided to go on a hunger strike from Monday protesting the ban on traffic movement on Bandipur National Highway during the night.
The ban is in effect since August 5, 2009. The Karnataka High Court had ordered the ban, acting on the report submitted by the Deputy Conservator of Forests (Project Tiger), Dr Raju which said traffic movement had a serious impact on the behaviour of wild animals.
However, the residents said the ban was irrational as it did not help in saving wildlife. Instead, it added to the people’s woes, they said.
“This highway is a lifeline for the people of Gudalur, that is home for four lakh people, including five Adivasi communities who depend upon the Mysore market for basic needs,” said Kariyan, leader of Paniya tribe who is leading the protests. |
