“I’m awaiting instructions from Delhi. I can call legislature party meeting any time and go to Raj Bhavan (to stake claim). I’m waiting for it,” Yeddyurappa told reporters after meeting RSS leaders at its state headquarters “Keshava Krupa” here.

Senior BJP legislator J C Madhuswamy said, “party national president Amit Shah has to instruct us to call a legislature party meeting in the presence of an observer to elect the leader.” He said, “things have to go democratically as ours is a national party, so we are waiting for instructions from them, after that appointment with Governor will be sought.”In the trial of legislative strength, Kumaraswamy had garnered 99 votes against the 105 by the BJP.
