Yeddyurappa the most opposed CM from within the ranks

Karnataka Chief Minister B.S.Yeddyurappa has stood steadfast as of now amidst domineering opposition. His government has been rattled from Day One by rebels from his own party.

It stands as a black mark for the BJP which had cobbled up a government in the Southern States for the first time. But then everyone is fated. Yeddy’s fate has so far been secure in spite of nagging worries on all days.

This time too he feels the problem would solve itself and he would prove his majority on the floor of the House on October 11. His hope against hope is that the rebels would come back. How, no one knows. He may be banking on the central leadership of the BJP to save his face. If Yeddy goes, the party withers away in Karnataka. That feeling may incite even his opponents among the central leadership to somehow save his fate.

Deve Gowda’s party had indirectly facilitated the success of Yeddy earlier. That party had ditched Yeddy at the crucial time, after receiving its support for more than two years. Now Janata Dal is trying to cobble up a government with the support of the Congress and independents.

Politics is like that, and anything can happen.
