Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa left for Delhi on Sunday for further consultations with the Bharatiya Janata Party central leadership in the wake of Governor H R Bhardwaj sanctioning his prosecution over alleged land scams.
Before leaving for the national capital, Yeddyurappa told mediapersons that he would meet the party's national leaders to discuss the political developments and the "attitude of our governor".
On Monday, the party's Lok Sabha and Rajya members from Karnataka, along with BJP central leaders, are meeting President Pratibha Patil to complain about the governor.
Maintaining an aggressive posture, Yeddyurappa had on Saturday ruled out his resignation, following the governor's sanction for prosecution and vowed to fight the issue politically and legally.
"I am leaving for Delhi to meet our national leaders to discuss the political developments and the attitude of our governor," Yeddyurappa said.
"On Monday all our MPs and national leaders will meet President Pratibha Patil at 11.30 hrs and submit a memorandum to apprise her of the real situation," he said.
