Yeddyurappa going out today.

Under pressure to resign over illegal land deals, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa is expected in Delhi later today to defend allegations of corruption against him to the party's top brass.

It seems, Yeddyurappa is trying to get all the blessings he can. The Karnataka Chief Minister, who was expected to come to Delhi in the morning, will now go to Puttaparthi first to Sai Baba's ashram before coming to the national capital. (Watch: Is Yeddyurappa buying time?)

Rallying firmly behind Yeddyurappa is state Education Minister VS Acharya who said there is no question of the CM resigning. "There is no alternative to Yeddyurappa. He will continue as CM. The BJP high command has not taken any decision," added Acharya.
