Yeddyurappa hints at floating his own party

After all attempts at peace between former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have failed, there are indications that a new political outfit will be floated on Nov.19. Yeddyurappa, who was ousted as the chief minister by his own party, has been sulking over not being given the post of party president. He has indicated that a new political outfit will be launched on Nove.19 at Davangere in Karnataka, after he finally breaks away from the BJP. Davangere has been a preferred venue for many politicians to kick-start their campaigns, as it is considered to be lucky. Almost every party, which launched its political party from this city in Karnataka has gone on to win the elections. Yeddyurappa has indicated that he would quit the party on Nov.19 with 25 of his loyalists. According to persons close to him, 25 legislators have declared their unconditional support to him, and more may follow depending on the response he is able to muster once he floats a new party. It appears that Yeddyurappa, however, is not handing out an open-ended threat like he has usually done in the past, and appears to be serious this time. From gulftoday
