Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa met PM Narendra Modi in Delhi on Friday after taking a chartered flight with some family members from Bengaluru. The two spoke for half an hour amid a buzz about cabinet changes.

Yediyurappa, who has faced frequent speculation about his time in office, laughed off the talk of a leadership change. “I don’t know of any rumour about leadership change. You tell me,” he told reporters after the meeting with Modi. He said he only discussed development-related issues and would return to Bengaluru on Saturday. He is likely to meet defence minister Rajnath Singh and home minister Amit Shah before flying back.
According to some BJP insiders, Yediyurappa wants to rejig his cabinet by dropping a few senior ministers and bringing in fresh blood, like Modi did recently. He went to Delhi to get the go-ahead.
