Seeking to mend fences with governor H.R. Bhardwaj, Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, who has been locked in a war of words over allegations of corruption, on Friday said he would meet him at least once in 15 days.

Mr Yeddyurappa said he would brief the governor on various issue concerning the state government.
“No political significance should be attached to my meeting with the governor. I invited him to deliver his address to the joint sitting on January 6,” Mr Yeddyurappa told reporters outside Raj Bhavan after calling on Mr Bhardwaj.
The chief minister, who spent about 45 minutes with the governor, who has been attacking his government, said he would be making frequent visits to Raj Bhavan to brief Mr Bhardwaj on various issues concerning the government.
“I have decided to meet the governor at least once in 15 days hereafter,” Mr Yeddyurappa said.
Mr Yeddyurappa and Mr Bhardwaj have been at loggerheads, especially in the recent weeks.
The governor had repeatedly sought answers from the Yeddyurappa government on allegations of corruption and nepotism.
Resenting the governor’s frequent outbursts, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has accused Mr Bhardwaj of being a “Congress agent” and even demanded his recall. —PTI
