Davangere, Jan 15: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on January 14 threatened to resign when the seer of 'Panchamasali Guru Peetha' warned that the community will leave him, if a BJP MLA from the community is not made the minister during the upcoming cabinet expansion.
The chief minister, who is awaiting the BJP high command's nod to expand his cabinet, amid intense lobbying by the aspirants, wanted the seer Vachanananda swamiji and the 'Panchamasali' community to understand his "situation." Yediyurappa pointed out that he has come to power because of the Congress-JD(S) legislators who rebelled against the then coalition government.
The incident took place when Vachanananda swamiji, while addressing an event at Harihara, near here, said "chief minister, you are a good person, Murugesh Nirani (BJP MLA)has helped you a lot, he has stood by you..if you leave his hands this time, the united Panchamasali community will leave your hands." As the swamiji was making this statement, Yediyurappa, who was seated next to him, rose and threatened to leave the stage.
"If you speak like this I will go away...what are you speaking...kindly pardon me, I will leave, you should not speak like this, if you speak like this I can't work..you can give me suggestions, you cannot threaten me," he said, as the swamiji tried to convince Yediyurappa and asked him to take his seat.
As Yediyurappa acceded to his request, the seer said he was not threatening him but was putting forward the rights of the community. The chief minister, who was visibly upset, was seen talking to Home minister Basavaraj Bommai next to him, who even tried to convince the seer not to continue with the topic. Nirani, a MLA from Bilgi who was Industries minister in the previous Yediyurappa government, was seated on the stage when the incident occurred.
Later addressing the event, Yediyurappa said he was not "selfish" and was even ready to resign.
"Vachanananda swamiji has spoken, through you I request him to understand my situation also. If 17 legislators (Congress-JDS), few even as ministers, had not resigned and stayed away, Yediyurappa could not have occupied this Chief Minister position.
You (swamiji) need not make people raise their hands on any demand, if you tell me, I'm ready to listen to you," he said.
Stating that he was ready to take suggestions from the swamiji on all issues, including on how to run the administration for the next 3 years, Yediyurappa said "I'm ready to bow my head and listen to it, if you don't want I'm even ready to resign and go home, I'm not someone who wants to stick to the chair."
Further noting that if he says that the financial condition of the state is not good it will become headline in papers tomorrow, he said he will have to wait till March for the situation to improve.
"I dont have selfishness, I'm aware that if the Panchamasali-Lingayat community had not stood by me, I could have not sat on this chair (CM)... but kindly understand my situation also," he added.
Yediyurappa is expected to expand his ministry later this month after discussing with BJP national president Amit Shah during his visit to the state on January 18.
As the chief minister has already made it clear that 11 of the disqualified JDS-Congress MLAs who got re-elected in the bypolls on BJP tickets will be made ministers, lobbying has been on within the party for the remaining ministerial berths.
Currently there are 18 Ministers, including the chief minister in the cabinet that has a sanctioned strength of 34.
The cabinet expansion will not be an easy task for the chief minister as he will have to strike a balance by accommodating the victorious disqualified legislators as promised and also make place for the old guard, upset at being "neglected" in the first round of the induction exercise.
He also has to give adequate representation to various castes and regions in his cabinet and also deal with allocation of key portfolios.

LOL...kuchbee, he is the biggest shit of india..GOD is pure, mercfull & good, this man try to show off that he is with hindus, becarful my dear hindu brother he may change his mind based on the situation. like this people are called marons of 21st century.
words cannot express for this man s. statement , he was dreaming in the daylight
Sita came to his dream and she might have told that Rama is fedup of the Jungle life now he need one place to settle down and to have good rest in his rest of the life.
About Shias all are have one openion that shias not considered as Muslims they are another part of Kuffars.
Why this guy is playing with the sentiments of Hindu Brothers, Although i am a Muslim but we should respect other religions too and their sentiments. When More then 100 crores of our hindu brother and sisters pray him and he is so powerfull then why lord Ram will come in his dreams. May be time or place is not perfect for him to stay on that perticular place. if lord Ram would wish he can accept prayers of crores of peoples and settle the matter.
cant expect worse than this from a bhakt.
chacha....fear Allah before its too late
First of all, does the God cry. If he is crying he can not be God.
The one and only true God will never come in dream and will not cry.
The real God is never be seen NOR imaginable to anyone.
This is the attribution of Ture God.
Let us say for the sake of argument, he has dreamed. It does not mean it is credible dream.
The dreams are 2types True dream and fake Shaytani dream.
About this man who is controversial already in the past, has always been trying to get the mercy of Hindus. He wants to be closure with them.
He is selling his Islamic values of true belief for worldly gains. He is Munafiq
God knows how Shiyas have selected him to be their head of waqf board.
This is the true picture of Shiyas. No basic knowledge of Thoheed/ Oneness.
May God guide them.
I think this is the chamatkar of desi brand. If you start drinking foreign brand before going to bed Lord Jesus also may visit you soon!
Please give a bit more explanation about the divine-human encounter. Rama was alone or Sita was also there with him? Did he go soon after expressing his sadness before you or he also had food with you before leaving?
