Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had on June 18 ruled out any political rebellion and said all issues would be discussed to clear confusion among the members.

Addressing media persons, Yediyurappa had said, “There is no confusion. Only one or two people have spoken to the media and that is being projected exaggeratedly.

They have been doing this since the beginning. In-charge Arun Singh has not even met him. No confusion, no cabinet member is worried.
