The BJP bought peace with the party rebels in Karnataka demanding the removal of B S Yeddyurappa who will continue as chief minister while a coordination committee will oversee its affairs in the state. A compromise between the warring sides to break the two-week-long stalemate is understood to have been hammered out under which a woman minister may be removed and the Speaker inducted into the Cabinet. Announcing the "amicable" settlement as a birthday gift to senior BJP leader L K Advani,who turned 83 today,party leader Sushma Swaraj said in the presence of Yeddyurappa and dissident leader G Janardhana Reddy that there are no more 'misunderstandings'. Swaraj is tipped to head the seven-member Committee that will include the chief minister,senior leader Anant Kumar,state unit president Sadananda Gowda and G Karunakara Reddy,brother of Janardhana Reddy.
