Former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa will be in New Delhi on March 12 and will seek his reinstatement as CM of Karnataka.
Armed with a high court order which cleared him of charges in the illegal mining case, Yeddyurappa is of the view that he is qualified now to rule the state of Karnataka once again.
Meanwhile preparations are on in full swing for a mammoth rally at Hubli which Yeddyurappa will lead and address. The rally is seen as a show of strength by Yeddyurappa to send a message to the party's central leadership that he is still the biggest name in the party.
His followers have also decided to invite Bharatiya Janata Party president Nithin Gadkari for the rally. Gadkari would be under pressure this time to take a stand regarding Yeddyurappa.
The last time around, he managed to postpone the issue quoting the assembly elections. After the rally on March 11, Yeddyurappa and his followers would leave for New Delhi the next day and raise the pitch for his reinstatement.
