Yeddyurappa has majority; I will not resign: Guv

After triggering a major controversy recommending President's rule, Governor H R Bhardwaj on Wednesday said the BJP government in Karnataka enjoyed a massive majority but Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa still gunned for his removal.

On his part, the Governor ruled out to quit and declared he will continue till he completes his five-year term.

The day was marked by a brief bonhomie when the two principal characters in the high-voltatge political drama shared the stage at an official function for the first time after Bhardwaj's action on Sunday recommending to the Centre imposition of President's rule.

On the stage, sitting next to each other they were seen speaking animatedly to with Bhardwaj placing his hands on the Chief Minister's arm.

In his speech later, the Governor said, "The Chief Minister is an elected representative. Massive majority he has. Nobody ever disputes that. We are friends."
