Mr Eshwarappa, who visited the city on Sunday along with party's State General Secretary and Chikmaglur MLA C T Ravi, held four-hour-long meeting with leaders of district unit of the PJP to assess party's organisational preparedness here.
When media persons surrounded him after the meeting, Mr Eshwarappa refused to answer any questions, saying that he did not come here for a press briefing. “Please don't force me. Next time when I come; I will invite you for a press briefing,” he said.
However Mr Ravi lashed out at Governor H R Bharadwaj and warned him against “any further attempt destabilise the democratically elected government.”
“He has already tried a lot to destabilise the BJP government in the state, but in vain. I hope that he has learnt lesson from his past failures,” Mr Ravi said.
Dkshina Kannada is the 21st district that Eshwarappa is touring in Karnataka as part of organisational efforts. He later headed to Udupi after paying a visit to Sanghanikethan, the local RSS headquarters here.
Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, Deputy Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat and DK District in-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar were also present in the meeting.
