The crisis in the first and only saffron government in the south showed no signs of let up with the dissidents not willing to give up their demands and reach some sort of a compromise.
The BJP high command, which is not in any mood to give in to the demand of the Bellary brothers, heading the dissident group, on the Chief Minister's removal but is not not averse to considering their other demands, reliable party sources said.
Their demands include whittling down of the powers of Rural Development Minister Shoba Karandlaje, who is in the eye of rebels' storm, transfer of some key officials and review of cess on lorries carrying iron ore, said to be hurting the interests of the mining magnates Reddy brothers.

Yedurappa is entirely responsible for all these dissidents in BJP.He is a dictator and guided by his demonic anger ,jealousy.Highly superstitious and castiest mentality.He only listens to Ligayats MLA's and his Mistress Shoba in the cabinet.Nobody can save this govt because everybody is fed up of this old bandicoot named Yeddy
Congratulations to media for heartely writing against BJp compared to what is happening in maharashtra after all that is a secular government.Now these dissidents are wrong, the good work done by BJP in the last 1 1/2 years will wander by your acts... the development done by yeddu and his campaign during floods was noteworthy but you guys want to defame the party and the people of your constituencies... better work for people.. if not quit politics...I hope Yeddu prevails he has done great work in karnataka..
