Click to play videoNew Delhi: The BJP may have shown the door to Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa after the controversial mining report, but Yeddyurappa has made it clear that he will leave on his own terms. The message to national leaders Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley was clear in the orchestrated scenes created by Yeddyurappa's supporters outside his house - the CM is still the king and he wants his man to take his position.
Yeddyurappa claimed the support of 73 MLAs and 15 MPs and wanted three-four days to decide. Rajnath and Jaitley got the message and postponed their decision on the new Karnataka chief minister.
Excise minister MP Renukacharya said, "Yeddy is our leader."
Inside the house, an Angry Yeddyurappa reluctantly met Jaitley and Rajnath and refused to step down without nominating a person of his choice for the post Chief Minister.
Yeddyurappa faction even went to the extent of asking them to reconsider BJP high command's decision of removing him from the chair. They also urged party bosses to trash the Lokayukta report on him.
Yeddyurappa who has already issued a statement saying that he would step down on Sunday played a hard ball game and demonstrated to extract his pound of flesh before his imminent departure. BJP observers were left with no other option but to cancel the BJP legislative party meet.
BJP's lone Southern satrap is making it clear that he is the one, who still calls the shots.
