Bengaluru: The BJP Central leadership has summoned state president B.S. Yeddyurappa and senior leader K.S. Eshwarappa to New Delhi on January 27 for a reconciliatory meeting.
According to sources, the meeting has been convened by party national president Amit Shah. Interestingly, the meeting has been scheduled a day after the convention of the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade on Thursday, being mentored by Eshwarappa to organise backward classes and Dalits, much against the wishes of Yeddyurappa.
It is learnt that party national organising general secretary Ram Lal, joint general secretary in-charge of southern States B L Santosh, and national general secretary in charge of Karnataka, P Murlidhar Rao, have also been invited for the meeting.
Meanwhile, Eshwarappa is gearing up for the brigade’s convention being held at Kudalasangama in Bagalkot district on Thursday despite serious opposition from Yeddyurappa.
It is learnt that the party State unit has decided to keep a watch on the leaders who will attend the convention.
Meanwhile, Yeddyurappa has asked his supporters, who had taken up a signature campaign seeking action against Eshwarappa, to desist from indulging in such activities.
