Senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa on Sunday left for New Delhi after being summoned by the party's top leadership amidst a delay in electing the Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly.
Though the BJP stalwart, who is the BJP parliamentary board member, expressed ignorance over the reason for the call, party sources said he has been summoned to decide on the candidates for the posts of leader of the opposition as well as the party's state chief.
BJP National president J P Nadda has summoned me to New Delhi. I don't know what the subject is, Yediyurappa told reporters here.
He said, I will go there, talk to him and if possible, I will return by tonight because a massive protest by thousands has been planned for day-after-tomorrow. So I will try to return by tonight or tomorrow morning.
Asked whether he has been called to New Delhi to discuss the appointment of LoP, Yediyurappa said he was not aware.
... After talking to him, I will get to know what is running in
