Bangalore, Nov 19: After the BJP top brass asked BJP state president, K S Eshwarppa, and Chief Minister, B S Yeddyurappa, to come to Delhi, Eshwarappa rushed to New Delhi by flight on Friday November 19 morning. Yeddyurappa is likely to make a trip to New Delhi later in the day. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader (RSS), Santosh, has accompanied him.
The national leadership of the BJP is frustrated at the loss of face it is made to face because of nationwide publicity the alleged land scam involving the state Chief minister, is getting. The Congress MPs and MLAs, besides the JDS leaders, have been persistently demanding for Yeddyyurappa’s scalp, pointing out irregularities committed by him. The decision taken by the state government to hold a detailed inquiry into all the land denotifications and allotments during the last decade does not seem to have contributed much to ease the situation.
Reportedly, the BJP leadership will hold detailed discussions with the state BJP leaders about the political developments in the city, to take a final decision on the stand to be taken by the party, and the necessity to change leadership if any, at the state level.
The core committee of the state BJP is set to meet at the residence of BJP national president, Nitin Gadkari, in New Delhi at 6 pm today. In addition to Eshwarappa and Yeddyurappa, BJP leaders, Anant Kumar, Jagadish Shettar, and D V Sadanand Gowda, apart from RSS leaders, Santosh and Satish, are scheduled to attend the meeting. In addition the scam, internal issues within the BJP are set to be discussed at this meeting.
