Bengaluru: The two warring leaders of BJP, B?S?Yeddyurappa and K S?Eshwarappa, on Saturday put up an united front by sharing the stage as also a huge garland at the BJP’s OBC morcha organized here besides being seated next to each other and exchanging pleasantries.
Speaking at the meeting Eshwarappa said the party’s aim is to ensure BJP returns to power and Yeddyurappa becomes the chief minister.
Making a reference to the differences that played out between the two leaders Eshwarappa said, “There was some minor confusion between us. However, BJP national president Amit Shah made us sit together and advised us to work together to bring the party back to power.”
Eshwarappa also said the aim should not be limited to making announcements in this regard. Everyone should introspect whether the party is working towards the stated aim in the Assembly constituencies and districts, he said. Further he added that people are disappointed with the Siddaramaiah government. Corruption cases may not even allow the government to survive for the next one year, he said.
Yeddyurappa, who made no mention of his past differences with Eshwarappa said, “The OBC Morcha got a boost after Eshwarappa took charge of it.”
Recently, Eshwarappa was appointed incharge of the Morcha. Yeddyurappa said Eshwarappa had planned two mega conventions of the Morcha – one in Bidar on February 22 and another in Yadgir on February 23.
