Bengaluru, Apr 30: Leader of the Opposition in the Council K S Eshwarappa has demanded that state BJP president B S Yeddyurappa apologise to BJP national general secretary (organisation) B L Santhosh for holding the latter responsible for the dissidence in the party.
“Considering his organisation skills, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah took him to the national-level. RSS workers strive to give political power to us. It is not fair on the part of Yeddyurappa to make such remarks. Yeddyurappa is still under the control of a few persons, like in the KJP. The former chief minister should shun his ego for the welfare of the party.” He said BJP was not a private limited company. There is a practice of discussing all issues with leaders and workers.
Yeddyurappa should know this and stop taking unilateral decisions. He must take everyone together, he said.
“The state unit president is the chief ministerial candidate and there is no second thought about it. But Yeddyurappa should change his style of functioning,” Eshwarappa said. He said Amit Shah had directed Yeddyurappa in Delhi on January 27 to convene a meet to end the rift in the party. A four-member committee was also formed. But so far, no meeting of the panel has been convened. Eshwarappa made it clear there was no ego in this matter.
