Bangalore, October 15: Former chief minister B?S?Yeddyurappa, who has begun the exercise of forming his own party, is exploring the possibility of having a pre-poll alliance with the Praja Pragati Ranga (PPR), a new political front in the State.

PPR is an umbrella body of nearly 16 organisations including a couple of political parties, and they mainly advocate the welfare of minorities, backward classes and scheduled castes/tribes.

It includes Rajya Raitha Sangha headed by Kodihalli Chandrashekar, DSS, RPI, Samata Sainik Dal, BSP, Social Democratic Party of India, the Karnataka unit of the Samajwadi Party, Lok Jan Shakti, Vatal Paksha, a party floated by Dr Chandrashekar Patil, among others.

Kodihalli Chandrashekar informed that he and leaders of some of the constituents of the Front had met Yeddyurappa recently.

“We are for a pre-poll alliance with the party to be floated by Yeddyurappa. As long as the party remains secular, we do not have any problem in fighting the next Assembly elections together. We would like to have seat sharing arrangements with Yeddyurappa's party,” he said.

Dr M?P?Nadagouda, JD(U) State president, said his party too had an invitation to join the Front. But he is yet to decide in this regard. “The Front intends to develop on the lines of NDA. But, Yeddyurappa is yet to quit the BJP. What if the BJP decides retain him by meeting his demands?” he said.

So far State BJP president K?S?Eshwarappa and Chief Minister Jagadish?Shettar have not commented on Yeddyurappa's utterances against the party in public.
