Sending a strong political message to the BJP State president B.S. Yeddyurappa, the Central leadership is learnt to have axed his key follower Shobha Karandlaje from the list of names proposed by him for appointment to the party’s highest decision-making body of the State core committee.
According to sources, the Central leadership finalised the committee on Wednesday without including the names of Mr. Yeddyurappa’s close followers such as Ms. Karandlaje and State general secretary Ravikumar. Mr. Yeddyurappa is facing the wrath of the party old-timers for allegedly not consulting them before appointing State and district office-bearers.
