Yeddyurappa to meet Guv, ask him to convene Assembly session

New Delhi (PTI) - Chief Minister of the south
Indian state of Karnataka B S Yeddyurappa on Wednesday said he
would meet Governor H R Bhardwaj soon to request him to
convene the session of the state Assembly early next month.
"I will meet the Governor along with a few of my
Cabinet colleagues to request him to allow us to start the
Assembly session," Yeddyurappa said here before leaving for
Bangalore.
He said it was for the second time that the state
Cabinet has recommended the session dates.
"I hope today he is going to take a right decision and
allow us to commence the Assembly session from June 2," he
said.
The Chief Minister refused to comment on the Governor
questioning the decision of the Speaker disqualifying 16
legislators ahead of a crucial vote of confidence that
Yeddyurappa narrowly survived.
"I need not say anything. I will discuss with the
Governor and only then I will get back to you," he said.
The ruling party BJP in the state has demanded the
recall of the Governor after he recommended imposition of
President's Rule in the state.
The party has claimed that it has the support of 121
MLAs in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly.
