Opposition within BJP over inducting resigned Cong MLAs into party
Bengaluru: BJP is facing stiff opposition within the party for inducting Byrathi Basavaraj of KR Pura constituency, Munirathna of RR Nagar, Somasekhar from Yashwanthpura and K Gopalaiah from Mahalakshmi layout, who resigned from the MLA position and decided to join the BJP.
BJP leaders of all these four constituencies met party state president BS Yeddyurappa and urged him not to take them into the party and reconsider the decision. Former MLAs Satish Reddy, NL Narendra Babu, and other local leaders including BBMP members expressed their anguish over the decision of the party leadership to induct them into the party. They also warned of quitting the party if the Congress leaders joined the BJP.
But the party senior leaders have convinced them that the resignations of the Congress MLAs were not yet accepted. The party has not taken any such decision. Finally, the leaders have convinced them that there is no need to worry about it.
