 [IST]
Mysore, Sep 3 (UNI)With Karnataka poised to become the first state in the south to have a BJP Chief Minister, the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) leaders held a two-day closed door meeting here on September 1 and 2 to discuss the political situation in the state.

Though the state BJP leaders asserted that it was a meeting to discuss the organisational issues, sources said the 'baithak' discussed at length the future course of action, once the partyman becomes the Chief Minister of Karnataka.

It also discussed how to sustain the government without a hitch and strengthen the BJP by the time for next elections in April-May, 2009.

Top leaders of RSS and Karnataka state unit BJP President D V Sadananda Gowda, Deputy Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and C H Vijayshankar MP and more then 300 RSS workers participated in the meeting.

Apart from political situation, the meeting also discussed organisational issues.

Speaking at Hunsur in Mysore district today, Deputy Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa maintained that the meeting discussed organisational issues only. It had nothing to do with the government and political issues, he claimed.

The 'baithak' was dominated by the Sangh Parivar and the media was barred. Even photographers were not allowed.
