Yeddyurappa skips BJP National Executive
Yeddyurappa has openly lashed out at the BJP top brass for not making him Karnataka unit chief.

Bangalore: Sulking over being sidelined in the party, former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa on Wednesday chose to boycott the BJP National Executive meeting being held at Surajkund in Haryana.

Yeddyurappa, who has been openly lashing out at the top brass of the BJP for "reneging" on its promise to make him Karnataka unit President, is undergoing naturo therapy at the Art of Living Nature Cure centre in Bangalore, since Tuesday.

He was likely to remain at the centre for two more days, said sources close to the state BJP strongman, who has been a constant source of worry to the central leadership with his repeated bouts of revolt.

The leadership has been lukewarm to his demands including state party chief's post. The Lingayat community heavyweight, who was forced to quit as Chief Minister in 2011 after indictment by Lokayukta report on illegal mining, has been dropping repeated hints at quitting the BJP with the state set to face assembly polls due early next year.

Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, who replaced Sadananda Gowda under pressure from Yeddyurappa, has also been facing pinpricks from him over various issues including allocation of portfolios to his loyalists.

What's your reaction?
