Bengaluru, Dec 23: Karnataka state BJP is keenly observing the movement of the dejected MLAs of the Congress party after the first restructuring of the cabinet, which took place on Saturday, December 22. Though BJP seems to be following the 'Wait and watch' policy, it has continued the efforts behind the scenes to form the government, if the opportunity arises. 

B S Yeddyurappa, the state BJP president, is in continuous touch with senior leaders like B Sriramulu, Umesh Katti and Basavaraj Bommai. He is also believed to be keeping a close watch on the frustrated MLAs of the Congress party.

Yeddyurappa is also in touch with the BJP high command to move forward according to their guidance. It is learnt that the BJP is taking one by one step, very carefully to ensure that this time around they have to be successful in forming the government. They do not want to make an attempt like in some previous occasions when they failed miserably and invited the wrath of the BJP high command. 

After the formation of the coalition government of Congress and JD (S), certain leaders of the state BJP were trying to woo the MLAs of Congress and JD (S) parties, exploiting the lack of coordination between the leaders, ministers, MLAs and activists of both parties, who are deprived of ministership and chairman posts of corporation and boards of various government organizations, through backdoor activities.
