“I will not tolerate any sort of infighting,” the 74-year-old Lingayat strongman said while addressing party workers here on Monday.

He directed district-level party leaders to keep an eye on workers who are not pitching in to campaign for the party's candidates contesting for the South Graduates' constituency.

“Those do not work hard for the party will not get any responsibility in the party in the coming days. If you want to play a role in the BJP in the coming days, you have to show your commitment to the party's growth by winning the seat,” he said.

Furthermore, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called for a “Congress-free India”, and the onus is on the party workers to achieve this.

“Modi's achievements have made the whole world look at India. People of Karnataka are also eager to have BJP rule in the State too. We can't build the party through slogans alone. We need to meet voters and convince them,” he said.

On the Kannadigas stuck in the Uttarakhand floods, Yeddyurappa said he had consulted the officials and ministers concerned at the Centre and appealed for necessary measures to bring them back home.

Former legislator B.V. Karigowda joined the BJP in the presence of Mr. Yeddyurappa. The BJP candidate for the South Graduates' constituency, M.V. Ravishankar; former ministers C.T. Ravi and C.H. Vijay Shankar; and M.K. Pranesh, G. Madhusudan, and Thontadarya, both MLCs, were present.
