Eshwarappa warns of another rally if demands are not met

Bengaluru: Rebel BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa has warned of holding another rally on May 20 if State BJP President B.S. Yeddyurappa failed to meet their demands by May 10.

Launching a no-holds-barred tirade against Yeddyurappa at ‘Save the Party’ rally at Palace Grounds here on Thursday, Eshwarappa said that Yeddyurappa’s style of functioning was not acceptable.

Seeking a recast of Party office-bearers, Eshwarappa said that BJP National President Amit Shah had suggested a Committee comprising Yeddyurappa, Eshwarappa and two RSS functionaries (B.L. Santosh and Arun Kumar) to address all internal problems. But no meeting  of the Committee had been convened, he alleged.

Accusing Yeddyurappa of taking unilateral decisions and appointing office-bearers and district Presidents without consultation, Eshwarappa set May 10 deadline for the State BJP President to review party appointments.
