Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (VM)

Mangalore, Dec 5: Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa's Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) is gearing up to establish itself in Dakshina Kannada, which incidentally is a bastion of Yeddyurappa's former political parent BJP.

KJP will shortly organize a district convention to woo voters as well as new members. A preparatory meet in this regard was held at Sahodaya hall here on Tuesday December 4.

"The Karnataka Janata Party convention scheduled to be held in Haveri on December 9, will bring about a paradigm shift in politics," said Jagadish Hiremani, state committee member of KJP during the meet.

"Many people say that the world will end on December 21, but it won't. Instead, political parties in the state will end on December 9 when KJP comes into force," said Hiremani.

"During Yeddyurappa’s three-and-a-half year rule, Karnataka state was ranked first in terms of development. But for all his contribution, he was cheated by the party. An attempt will be made to bring about KJP rule in the district, where BJP supporters are the highest," he said.

On the occasion, Ravindra Shetty, Ibrahim Sajipa, George D’Souza, Venugopal Shetty, Deviprasad, Asif Ullal among others joined the party.

Ramachandra Baikampady, Mariamma Thomas, Azeez Baikampady, Srinivas Shetty, Narayan Bhat, Ananth Prabhu who have also joined the party were present.

It is learnt that Ramachandra Baikampady, member of National Fishermen’s Forum has submitted his resignation to BJP. The resignation letter has been submitted to state president through the district BJP president.
