The ruling BJP in Karnataka held a demonstration here today demanding recall of governor HR Bhardwaj for sanctioning prosecution of chief minister BS Yeddyurappa and accused the opposition Congress and JDS of indulging in "backdoor politics".
Addressing the protesting BJP members here, senior leader HN Ananth Kumar said the party would request President Pratibha Patil to recall the Governor.
In Karnataka, the Congress and the JDS lost the assembly polls in 2008, Lok Sabha elections in 2009 and zilla and taluk pachayat polls last year, he noted.
"They (Congress and JDS) don't have people's mandate. They are indulging in back-door politics", Ananth Kumar said.
Accusing the governor of hatching a "conspiracy", he asserted that the Yeddyurappa government would complete its five-year term.
BJP members raised slogans such as "get out, get out governor" and "Raj Bhavan: Extension of 10, Janpath".
