Karnataka crisis: Political factions await BJP high command's decision

The central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may have averted the crisis in Karnataka for the time being by buying some time from its rebel leaders, but its decision is widely awaited by political factions in the state. Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa's camp wants Sadananda Gowda to be replaced as the Chief Minister with Lingayat leader Jagadish Shettar, who is one of the nine ministers who had given resignation letters last week.
