April 08, 2013 21:06

Vicky Nanjappa reports: The Bharatiya Janata Party has finally suspended B Y Raghavendra, son of B S Yeddyurappa from the party. The action comes in the wake of anti-parties activities, which have been alleged against him.

Raghavendra remained a BJP MP even after his father quit the party. He was always seen alongside his father at the functions of the Karnataka Janata Party.

The party has also suspended Shivakumar, son of C M Udasi who is also a Yeddyurappa loyalist. The suspension of both leaders comes four weeks before the Karnataka assembly elections to be held next month.
