A day after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah called on BJP MP V. Srinivas Prasad, it was the turn of former Chief Minister and BJP leader B.S. Yediyurappa to call on the veteran Dalit leader at the latter’s residence in Mysuru on Sunday.
Mr. Yediyurappa, accompanied by former MLA Preetham Gowda, invited Mr. Prasad to attend the rally to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Mysuru later in the day.
It may be mentioned here that Mr. Prasad had already declared his retirement from politics and had made it clear that he was not attending any political event.
