Group of BJP legislators raise banner of revolt against BSY

State JDS President has charged Yeddyurappa with denotifying more than five acres acquired by the BDA

PTI | October 5, 2010



In what looks to be fresh trouble for the B S Yeddyurappa government in Karnataka, a group of disgruntled BJP legislators today held talks in a resort outside the city.

The group involved more than 15 dissident MLAs, including those who were denied ministerial berths in the recent cabinet reshuffle, party sources said.

The Chief Minister held a meeting with State BJP chief K S Eshwarappa following the development, they said.

The BJP government is facing land scam allegations in recent days as a spirited opposition -- the Congress and JD-S -- is trying to corner Yeddyurappa and the Minister for IT, Biotechnology and Housing, Katta Subramanya Naidu.

State JDS President H D Kumaraswamy yesterday charged Yeddyurappa with denotifying more than five acres acquired by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) for a layout at Nagarbhavi here in violation of Supreme Court and High Court orders and over-ruling objections of officials.

Yeddyurappa was already facing allegations by Opposition leaders of denotifying certain land for the benefit of his family, a charge rejected by the Chief Minister.
