Bengaluru: Senior Congress leader and former Minister MB Patil said that Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa a tall leader from the Lingayat community and is instrumental in bringing BJP to Karnataka.
“BS Yediyurappa is a tall leader from the Lingayat community and is instrumental in bringing BJP to Karnataka. When he went to Delhi, information was leaked about his meeting even before he met the Prime Minister,” MB Patil was quoted speaking to ANI.
“He was weakened. Party must respect his age. It hurts as a person of the community”, said MB Patil.
Earlier, Patil on July 19 had tweeted that “BJP may face the wrath of Lingayats, if they ill-treat tall leader, CM of Karnataka, BS Yediyurappa. One should value his contribution and treat him with dignity. This is my personal opinion, understanding that the proposed changes may be internal matters of the BJP.”
Meanwhile, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar on Saturday claimed that many leaders belonging to the Lingayat community are willing to join the Congress party. Senior Congress leaders of the region, Ishwar Khandre and MB Patil who were also present had said that many BJP leaders from the Lingayat community are ready to join Congress.
