Action against loyalists vindictive: Yeddyurappa

December 08, 2012 21:44

Former BJP Karnataka strongman B S Yeddyurappa today described as 'vindictive' the party leadership's sacking of his loyalist and Cooperative Minister B J Puttaswamy from the ministry and suspension of Tumkur MP GS Basavaraj.

He dared BJP to dissolve the state assembly and face the people's mandate "if they have faith in democratic values".

Yeddyurappa said the BJP was under the impression that such action against his loyalists could dissuade others from supporting him. He added, "The number of those attending Sunday's Karnataka Janata party rally will increase by at least 50,000".
