A BJP delegation called on President Pratibha Patil and demanded Bhardwaj's recall accusing him of acting in a partisan manner.Bhardwaj on January 21 gave his sanction for prosecution of Yeddyurappa on petitions by two lawyers, an action that aggravated the hostility between the governor and the ruling party.
