Ask BSY not to act in haste, BJP tells Shobha
New Delhi/Mangalore, Jan 3,DHNS: The BJP central leadership has asked Karnataka Energy Minister Shobha Karandlaje to advise former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa not to take any hasty decision and promised rewarding him with a suitable post at the earliest.
Shobha, a close confidante of Yeddyurappa, met party national president Nitin Gadkari and Opposition Leader in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley here on Tuesday and discussed the party affairs in the State.
Worried over Yeddyurappa serving ultimatum to the party to make him the chief minister, the party senior leaders also asked Shobha to advise him to wait patiently till they explore some avenue to address the issue.
Senior leader Arun Jaitley will attend the State executive meeting to be held in Bangalore soon, and later Gadkari will also visit the State to address the party’s senior leaders who are at loggerheads.
Yeddyurappa had served an ultimatum to make him the chief minister by January 15 and threatened to take future action, if his demand was not met.
The party top brass also advised all leaders from the State unit, including Yeddyurappa and party State unit president K S Eshwarappa, not to give any statement to media about differences among them.
CM unaware
However, Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda in Mangalore said he was unaware of the reason for Shobha’s Delhi visit.
“She would have updated the High Command about the various developments in the State and I do not think there is a need to attach any meaning to her visit,” said the chief minister.
Gowda said the party leaders have been trying their level best to solve the confusions between Yeddyurappa and Eshwarappa.
