Calling BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra “bachcha” (a child), former BJP Minister K.S. Eshwarappa said he (Vijayendra) has no qualities to comment on him.
“I have done ‘tapassu’ for 40 years to build the party. What is your contribution to the party?”, he asked Vijayendra during an interaction with the media in Shivamogga on Tuesday, April 16.
Mr. Eshwarappa said, Vijayendra became the State president because of his father’s hard work. He did not contribute to the party. “What qualities does he have to comment on me?” he asked in reaction to Vijayendra’s statement that the party would take disciplinary action against him (Eshwarappa) for filing nomination papers as an Independent candidate.
