The coming together of the BSY and Reddy camps could have made the MLAs holed up a Hyderabad hotel a much happier lot as they could soon be home. But what about revenue minister Karunakar Reddy, elder brother of Janardhan Reddy who struck the truce with Mr B.S. Yeddyurappa in New Delhi on Sunday?
The big brother’s discontent was more than obvious when he returned to his Bellary residence at around 11 am on Sunday from Bengaluru in a chopper even as Janardhan Reddy and health minister B. Sriramulu were holding talks with ‘Thayee’ Sushma Swaraj in Delhi. A source at the Reddy residence said Reddy senior shut himself in his room at around 3 pm and seemed pretty disappointed as he talked on the phone.
He sent a message to reporters waiting on the lawns at around 5.30 pm that he would not like to react to the developments after channels telecast visuals of Janardhan and Yeddyurappa joining hands. Sources in the Reddy camp said that though he was consulted at every stage, Karunakar was annoyed that their main demand—the CM’s removal— had not been met. He was also upset that Jagadish Shettar whom they had projected for the CM’s post, had gone ‘silent’ after his visit to Delhi.
