Dissent brews in Bellary BJP as 48 office bearers resign
Bellary: Minister KS Eshwarappa's son-in-law, BJP General Secretary KA Ramalingappa expressed outrage against MLA Somashekhara Reddy, saying: "Do not threaten anyone else by using the name of former minister Janardhan Reddy, Sriramulu. Nobody will scare by your threats.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Tuesday, he said, "We are not from those who change parties every day and night. You (Somashekhar Reddy) are responsible for the Sanna Fakkirappa's defeat. Don't ruin party discipline," he said.
It's not three years since he came to the party. Is it correct to issue the letter of recommendation to Somasekharareddy's close friend Dammur Shekhar. He lied that Sriramulu and Devedrappa had issued the recommendation letter. Who is Anand to give the letter of recommendation. Is he there in the party. Have you thought that you can do anything you want, and hijack the party? That's your nightmare. What does the district in-charge minister knows about the district. Government appointments must be made through the Core Committee as per party discipline. It is not right to hijack it.
