Bangalore:
BJP leader Arun Jaitley Tuesday met party leaders in Karnataka to
defuse the infighting among them even as former chief minister
B.S. Yeddyurappa slammed Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar's
governance, calling it "scary".
"The way the government is running is scary. I told the chief
minister today that unless his administration focuses on
development, I will have no option but to take extreme action,"
Yeddyurappa told reporters in his hometown Shimoga.
Yeddyurappa's unexpected attack on Shettar, whom he had picked to
succeed another of his protege D.V. Sadananda Gowda in July this
year, came as Jaitley met Shettar and other BJP leaders in
Bangalore.
Jaitley also met state BJP general secretary and Bangalore South
Lok Sabha member H.N. Ananth Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister R.
Ashoka.
BJP sources said talks centred on the impact on the prospects of
the party in the assembly elections due May next if Yeddyurappa
leaves the party as he has been hinting he would by December.
Yeddyurappa indicated again Tuesday that he would quit the BJP.
Lashing out at state BJP chief K.S. Eshwarappa, who is also from
Shimoga, Yeddyurappa said he would never again share the dais with
him in Shimoga.
"I will take my road, let him take his. Eshwarappa has been
conspiring against me. He wants me out of the party," Yeddyurappa,
who is bitter over not being made state BJP chief, said.
"I am not here to respond to every statement of Yeddyurappa,"
Eshwarappa retorted.
The infighting in the ruling party resulted in the postponement of
the opening of a park dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi in Shimoga on
Gandhi Jayanti Tuesday.
"Eshwarappa got the inauguration of the park cancelled as he
thinks it is a shame to share the dais with me," Yeddyurappa said.
Yeddyurappa is facing over a dozen cases of corruption and was
forced to quit as chief minister last July over mining bribery
charges.
