Mangaluru: MLC Ivan D'Souza took a jibe at the BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa by saying “as the BJP is suffering from internal disputes, the party’s state president and former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa's condition has become like 'papa Pandu'.”

Addressing a press meet at his office on Saturday, he said that in the attempt to destabilize the coalition government, the BJP had failed four times. People who do not believe in the democracy get indulge in such unconstitutional acts.

Ananth Kumar, R Ashok, and DV Sadananda Gowda are in the fray in the BJP. Yeddyurappa, who is unable to curb this, is daydreaming of becoming the chief minister. But the BJP leaders will not allow Yeddyurappa to become the chief minister again. Yeddyurappa is not aware of this, Ivan D'Souza said.

Congress leaders Gururaj, Nagendra Kumar, and others were present.
