Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa today invited Governor H. R. Bhardwaj to address the joint sitting of both Houses of the legislature convened on January six.
“No political significance should be attached to my meeting with the Governor. I invited him to deliver his address to the joint sitting on January six”, Mr. Yeddyurappa told reporters outside Raj Bhavan after calling on Mr. Bhardwaj.
Mr. Yeddyurappa, who spent about 45 minutes with the Governor, who has been attacking his government, said he would be making frequent visits to Raj Bhavan to brief Mr. Bhardwaj on various issues concerning the government.
“I have decided to meet the Governor at least once in 15 days hereafter”, Mr. Yeddyurappa said.
Both Mr. Yeddyurappa and Mr. Bhardwaj have been locked in a war of words, particularly in recent weeks.
The Governor had repeatedly sought answers from the Yeddyurappa Government on allegations of corruption and nepotism.
Resenting Governor’s frequent outbursts, the ruling BJP has accused Mr. Bhardwaj of being a “Congress agent” and demanded his recall.
