New Delhi: The crisis in the Karnataka unit of the BJP crisis now seems to have shifted to the party's Delhi quarters. After his failed mission to resolve the crisis, trouble shooting leader Arun Jaitley returned to Delhi.

Sources say that the chief minister of BJP-ruled Karnataka, BS Yeddyurappa and the Speaker Jagdish Shettar are likely to come to Delhi to hold further talks. The Reddy brothers who are a major part of the dissident unit are likely to come to do so too.

But the mining baron and politician duo, the Reddy brothers are not about to see an end to their problems. This time, it is the government of the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh state has reportedly hauled up the two for allegedly building illegal roads inside forests, violating mining rules and even altering the Andhra-Karnataka state boundary.

The notice comes just days after a meeting between Andhra Pradesh chief minister Rosaiah and Karnataka chief minister Yedyurappa.

Insiders say that the two have joined hands to fight their common enemies in their states.

Jagan Reddy, son of late Andhra chief minister YSR Reddy and the Bellary Reddys are reportedly known to be close business associates.

The BJP is now planning to send Sushma Swaraj, who is close to the Bellary Reddys, to try and defuse the situation.
