Bangalore, Jun 30 (IANS): Nine Karnataka ministers loyal to former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, who quit the ministry Friday, Saturday ruled out any compromise on their demand for removing Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda.

The assertion came as Bharatiya Janata Party general secretary in charge of Karnataka affairs Dharmendra Pradhan landed in Bangalore to try for a compromise.

"Our demand is to make (rural development minister) Jagadish Shettar chief minister in place of Sadananda Gowda. There is no going back on this," Water Resources Minister Basavaraj Bommai told reporters here.

Shettar and Bommai are among the nine ministers who submitted their resignations to Gowda late Friday. The others are C.M. Udasi (public works), Murugesh Nirani (industries), V. Somanna (housing), Umesh Katti (agriculture), Revu Naik Belamagi (libraries and animal husbandry), M.P. Renukacharya (excise) and Raju Gowda (small scale industries).

Bommai and Udasi held Gowda responsible for the present mess in the state unit. The manner in which Gowda has conducted himself has led to "trust deficit" leading to resignation by the ministers, they said.

Soon after arrival Pradhan met state BJP chief K.S. Eshwarappa, who said earlier Saturday "there is no question of accepting the resignations".

Later he met the nine ministers and law makers loyal to Yeddyurappa. He will have talks with Gowda and his supporters later Saturday.

    People of Karnataka at least had a CM, of whom they have not got "news fatigue" for the last few months. There also have not been any aggressive corruption accusations as against BSY from the opposition for the last few months. One really does not know what is the ground situation of the administration in the districts and villages of Karnataka, but at least one hopes that the CM is working, as he is not doing temple and resort hopping so frequently as BSY used to do.

    One hopes DVS is allowed to survive, and some good measures are announced in the next year, so that the BJP can salvage some prestige and reputation that was sore lacking during the period of BSY - when ministers resigned due to medical college job scam, denotification scam, friend wife rape scam and so many other countless scams ...
