CM feels need for solitude

The conversation remained inconclusive,but it perhaps best explained the dilemma of the BJPs first Chief Minister down South,who faced a no-holds-barred attack from the mining magnates-turned BJP leaders from Bellary in the state,before giving him some respite late on Thursday when party leaders claimed to have arrived at a compromise formula of sorts.

During his meeting with L K Advani on Thursday,where they discussed the situation in the state,the Chief Minister said he invited the senior party leader for the bhoomi poojan for a new township in the flood-affected districts of the state. The new township being planned in the flood-ravaged districts is inspired by former President APJ Abdul Kalams Vision 2020,said an aide. The CM is now scheduled to meet the Prime Minister on Friday to invite him for the bhoomi poojan.
