The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) efforts to resolve the political crisis in Karnataka hit a roadblock Thursday with the dissident Reddy brothers, who are also ministers, snubbing Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa's overtures and refusing to meet him.

Backed by the national leaders, Yeddyurappa arrived in Delhi late Wednesday and sent feelers to state Tourism Minister G. Janardhana Reddy and his elder brother and Revenue Minister G. Karunakara Reddy.
