Here's what's happening in Karnataka --  a behind the scenes look. Our man in Bengaluru, Vicky Nanjappa, says it's just a matter of time before the state gets its new chief minister.

A BJP legislators meeting has now been fixed for 11 am. Seniour leaders from Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh have been involved in deliberations all through the night to bring about a consensus between the BS Yeddyurappa and Ananth Kumar factions who are claiming the support of 60 MLAs each. BJP sources say that the meeting at 11 am today will bring about clarity on the issue and there is expected to be a consensus.

Jagadish Shettar however appeared to look confident that he would be elected the next CM of the state. Sadananda Gowda is meeting with Yeddyurappa after which he will meet with the senior leaders. The BJP however is trying its best to bring about a consensus candidate and would not want any split in the party especially after the party's image has taken a beating.

The party is ready to sacrifice both Shettar and Gowda if there is no consensus and could even propose the name of a third candidate to avoid any tussle. The Yeddyurappa camp is however adamant that it would install its candidate and adds that it is even ready for a show of strength if required.
