ENARADA, Bangalore, October 16, 2013:
Yeddyyurappa may return to BJP during Narendra Modi’s scheduled rally on November 16 on the outskirts of Bangalore.
More than 5 lakhs people are expected to attend the rally by paying Rs.10 as entry fee. People can participate in the Modi’s rally by registering themselves on online too.
While BJP’s political affairs and core committee that met today, discussed preparations for Modi’s rally, Yeddyurappa’s rival Ananthkumar held a meeting in his office tonight to express his ‘No Objection’ for Yeddyurappa’s return to BJP.
In a meeting called by Ananthkumar, top BJP leaders and office bearers including former CM’s Jagadish Shettar and D.V Sadananda Gowda took part and discussed various strategies to remove any hurdles on the path of Yeddyurappa’s return to the party.
Interestingly, ex speaker of Loksabha and the president of National People’s party P.A.Sangma met Yeddyurappa in Bangalore and advised him not to go back to BJP. According to reliable sources Sangma had suggested Karnataka Janatha Paksha (KJP) president Yeddyurappa to give outside support to NDA and continue strengthening his (Yedyyurappa’s) regional party.
However, Yeddyurappa is willing to join BJP as all the local leaders have expressed their happiness in welcoming him back to his mother party, with the hope that BJP will again become stronger in the state.
KJP leader V.Dhananjaya Kumar clarified that BJP was trying harder to pacify yeddyurappa from long time but Yeddyurappa finally agreed to return to BJP’s fold due to his ‘friendship’ with Modi. It can be recalled that on many occasions Yeddyurappa had said that he wants to see Modi as PM.
After convincing Yeddyurppa to return back to BJP, party leaders are leaving no stone unturned in trying to bring back all other leaders including Sriramulu and second level leaders who had quit BJP.
