Bengaluru: BJP National President Amit Shah, who is on a 3-day visit to the State to lift the spirit of the party workers ahead of the 2018 Assembly polls, held a breakfast meeting with RSS leaders at the State RSS Headquarters in Chamarajpet this morning.
Shah is said to have interacted and taken feedback from RSS functionaries on political scenario in the State selection of candidates for the 2018 Assembly polls and the affairs of the State unit of the party, in the meeting that lasted over two hours.

Yeddyurappa and also BJP National General Secretary in-charge of Karnataka P. Muralidhar Rao, for not making much of an impact or ushering in discipline in the party.
