Yeddyurappa's rebellion very serious: RSS

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Tuesday said the revolt by B S Yeddyurappa seeking reinstatement as Karnataka chief minister was "very serious", even as the Bharatiya Janata Party president Nitin Gadkari went into a huddle with Mohan Bhagwat and other top leaders of the organisation in Nagpur.

"The rebellion by Yeddyuruppa who is demanding his reinstatement as the Karnataka chief minister was very serious and the BJP has taken a cognisance (of the issue)...the party will take a decision soon," RSS Sarkaryawah (general secretary) Suresh alias Bhaiyyaji Joshi told reporters.

Earlier, BJP president Nitin Gadkari remained closeted with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and other top functionaries at the party headquarters in Reshimbaug area.

Gadkari also attended a meeting with the newly-elected office bearers and representatives of Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), the highest decision making body of RSS.

He left the venue without talking to media.
