B.S. Yeddyurappa, BJP state party president, has put an end to speculation over party’s choice of candidate for Shivamogga segment, by making it clear that K.S. Eshwarappa, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, would get B-Form. 

Speaking to presspersons in Shikaripur town on Saturday, March 31, Mr. Yeddyurappa said that the party national leadership has also decided to make S. Rudre Gowda, president of the party district unit and aspirant for ticket from Shivamogga constituency, an MLC.

The selection of candidate for Shivamogga city had become a tricky issue for the BJP leadership. A delegation of followers of Mr. Gowda met Mr. Yeddyurappa recently and requested that the party leadership provide an opportunity to their leader. A few leaders even said that if Mr. Eshwarappa was offered ticket, the party would be defeated.

During his visit to Shivamogga city recently, BJP national president Amit Shah held a meeting with Mr. Eshwarappa and Mr. Yeddyurappa during which the issue of candidature was discussed. It was then decided that Mr. Eshwarappa would contest from Shivamogga segment.
