Bengaluru, Nov 21: Even though it has been two days since the chief minister (CM) returned after visiting New Delhi in an attempt to end uncertainty over giving ministerial berths to people to whom he had promised, the high command is yet to convey a decision in this regard, it is learnt. Therefore, the chief minister got himself busy with his administrative work.

CM B S Yediyurappa who went to New Delhi on November 18 was told that the high command would convey to him a decision about either reorganisation or expansion of the ministry. Some leaders have met Yediyurappa and demanded to drop some existing ministers. Some others are trying to meet him to save their seats.

Yediyurappa said he had discussed the matter with BJP national president J P Nadda, and that Nadda will revert to him with a decision about ministry and who should be absorbed. He however refused to say anything about some legislators including M P Renukacharya having met state BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel, seeking to drop inefficient ministers.

In the meanwhile, unconfirmed reports said that Amit Shah and J P Nadda will be visiting the state during December first week. The visit will happen after BJP state in-charge Arun Singh, visits the state and sends a report to the high command. BJP national general secretary C T Ravi, said that Nadda's visit has not been confirmed and that even the visit of Amit Shah has not been fixed so far.

In the meanwhile, through a series of tweets, former chief minister Siddaramaiah, urged the state BJP to finish their ministerial exercises as the uncertainty has been affecting the administration. He said that the BJP leaders who used to blame the Congress for family politics, are now heaping the same allegations against one another and laying bare their own follies and weaknesses.
