Travelling is not new to me. I am touring the entire state, said former Minister M P Renukacharya responded. On the issue of giving the post of State President to Shobha Karandlaje, he said, let’s wait and see what the high command decides. Overall, Modi should become the Prime Minister again. Yediyurappa built and nurtured the party in the state. We need a secular, capable leader like him, he said.
It is better to go to the Lok Sabha elections under the leadership of Yediyurappa. I am saying this on Vijayadashami. If they leave, lakhs of workers will stand behind. I was also aspiring for the post of state president. The party organisation should be from the booth level. The dictatorial attitude in the BJP should go. New faces were given a chance in the elections the other day. Did the old man’s leg fall off. What was the need for internal reservation. Everything should have been said a year earlier. It had to be done to take everyone into confidence. He did this a week before the elections. Yediyurappa gave opportunity to all communities, he said.
Whoever leaves the party or comes. On sitting MP GM Siddeshwar’s statement that he will win if he contests, he said, I have respect for him. I am senior to him in the party. He may be senior in age. I went to jail twice for the party. There is hindness in every cell of my blood. If Renukacharya speaks, it is a betrayal of the party and what some people have said is not a betrayal of the party, he commented.
