BSY invites dissidents of Cong, JDS to BJP
Bengaluru, June 10: By saying that the doors of the BJP are open to the dissident Congress and JDS MLAs if they are willing to join the party, BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa once again started to lure the disgruntled MLAs of the coalition government.
Amidst the protests from the supporters of the MLAs who were denied the ministerial berths in the JDS-Congress coalition government, both the parties have to face another problem of keeping their MLAs intact as the Opposition is trying to take the advantage of the present situation.
Former minister and MLA MB Patil has met the party high command, but returned empty handed. It is said that the party high command has promised him of considering his name during the expansion of the cabinet and even directed other MLAs to wait for the right time.
Even in the JDS camp also, the dissident activities erupted. Both Higher Education Minister GT Deve Gowda and Minor Irrigation Minister CS Puttaraju expressed their anger publicly. Both of them have eyed on transportation portfolio. But this portfolio was given to DC
Thammanna, the relative of party supremo HD Deve Gowda.
