The Bharatiya Janata Party State unit’s highest decision-making body of the core committee is meeting in Bengaluru on Tuesday for the first time after it was reconstituted recently.
Incidentally, it is also the first meeting of the core committee after the recent episode of a few senior leaders publicly expressing dissatisfaction over the manner in which the office-bearers were appointed to the party organisation by State president B.S. Yeddyurappa.
The issue of dissatisfaction among some sections within the party is likely to figure in the meeting, which will be attended by top leaders, including Mr. Yeddyurappa, Union Ministers D.V. Sadananda Gowda and Ananth Kumar, and Leaders of the Opposition in both the Houses of the State legislature Jagadish Shettar and K.S. Eshwarappa.
The Yeddyurappa camp is also expected to seek clarification from Mr. Eshwarappa on the efforts being made by him to float an alternative to the Ahinda (Kannada acronym for minorities, backward classes and Dalits), which is now being led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
