Yeddyurappa has maintained he and his party haven't done anything that the previous JD(S) and Congress dispensations haven`t. The belligerent satrap then left for Delhi for talks with senior lawyers and national BJP leaders to decide the course of action on Sunday.
Yeddyurappa consulted a battery of top lawyers including those who have dealt with cases of former chief ministers Lalu Prasad (Bihar) and Virbhadra Singh (Himachal).
Advocate Vinod has sought a probe into denotification of lands during the tenure of former chief ministers H D Deve Gowda (1994-1996), Krishna (1999-2004), H D Kumaraswamy (2006-2007) and Dharam Singh (2004-06). The 630-page complaint, filed before the Padmaraj commission, lists denotification of land allotments during the tenure of the four ex-CMs.
Following a demand by the Opposition for a CBI probe into land allotments a few months ago, the state government constituted the commission to probe allotments and denotification by BDA and KIADB between 1995-2010.
In Delhi, Yeddyurappa met senior BJP leaders L K Advani and Arun Jaitley to explain his weeklong confrontation with the governor and also the success of Saturday bandh in Karnataka.
On Monday, a delegation of party MPs from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, led by BJP central leaders, will meet President Pratibha Patil to complain against the governor and press her for his recall. Before leaving for Delhi on Sunday morning, Yeddyurappa told reporters in Bangalore that he would meet the party`s national leaders to discuss the political developments and also the "attitude of our governor". An aggressive CM also said he would fight the issue politically and legally.
