Shedding his defiant posture after persuasion by party leaders, former Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa today left here for Mumbai to attend the concluding session of the BJP National Executive meeting.

"I am leaving for Mumbai to greet Nitin Gadkari on his re-election as the party President for the second successive term", Yeddyurappa, who had earlier decided to skip the meet apparently upset over being sidelined said.

Yeddyurappa was persuaded by his party top leaders including Gadkari and Arun Jaitely to participate in the executive which the state party strongman had said should discuss Karnataka party affairs also among other issues.
