New Delhi :  The BJP high command has once again stood by the side of Karnataka Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda and has  asked him to take everyone into confidence and move ahead.

At a meeting held at party president Nitin Gadkari’s residence here on May 13, Sunday night, the demand of the Yeddyurappa camp for  a change in leadership was out rightly rejected.

Highly placed sources also said the party leadership has censured the dissident leaders in the state. It is learnt, though the party leadership had asked Yeddy to attend the meeting, he instead had sent Shobha Karandlaje on his behalf.
