Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and state BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa continued to lock horns Monday on the issue of sale of land to JSW steel, a day after the saffron party ended its round-the-clock sit-in since Friday protesting the sale.

While Kumaraswamy asserted that his government was open for any discussion as he accused Yeddyurappa of receiving money from the firm in the past, the latter alleged the Chief Minister was indulging in "political circus."
As Yeddyurappa did not respond positively, Kumaraswamyhad later tweeted, "BJPs true colours have come out, and theywanted cheap publicity, not development based discussion."
"Blaming us, saying Yeddyurappa did not cooperate, he was doing politics- is it right on your part as Chief Minister? If you had called us earlier we would have come for discussion."
