Bengaluru: Chief Minister of Karnataka Basavaraj Bommai has said that the BJP does not expect Jagadish Shettar to return to the party.
Addressing reporters here on Monday, the senior leader said “The BJP always treated Shettar with a lot of respect and never sidelined or neglected him. The Congress, in contrast, has a ‘use and throw’ attitude. Shettar too will be treated no better. Why Shettar joined the Congress in spite of being aware of such a mentality in the Congress is a mystery to all of us.”
The Chief Minister stated that the BJP High Command had taken note of the political developments in Karnataka.
Bommai further said that the Congress values Lingayats a lot only at the time of elections, and stated with confidence, “The Lingayats, however, will not let the BJP down as long as BS Yediyurappa is in the BJP.”
