Vicky Nanjappa reports: Stepping up pressure on Karnataka Chief Minister D Sadananda Gowda, seven ministers loyal to B S Yeddyurappa have quit the Karnataka cabinet.

The seven ministers said that they have decided to quit since the chief minister has lost confidence in them. They have also authorised Yeddyurappa to decide on their future course of action.

Those who quit include Shobha Karandlaje, Basavaraj Bommai, Umesh Katti, C M Udasi, V Somanna, M P Renukacharya and Murugesh Nirani.

All seven of them submitted their resignations to Yeddyurappa. It would depend on Yeddyurappa now whether to forward their resignations to the party president or not. Two more ministers are expected to quit by Sunday.
