Several ministers and 10 Bharatiya Janata Party rebels spent more than half-an-hour outside the Karnataka Raj Bhavan today evening as Governor H.R. Bhardwaj kept them waiting.
After the long wait, Bhardwaj finally agreed to meet a group of ministers, but not the rebels.
The rebels drove straight in a bus from the airport to Raj Bhavan after arriving from New Delhi from where they had faxed a letter to Bhardwaj supporting Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.
The rebels were to give individual letters to the governor expressing support to Yeddyurappa.

High drama at Raj Bhavan as rebels made to wait
