Former Minister and BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa on Sunday, April 30, described himself as a “disciplined soldier” of the BJP. Mr. Eshwarappa, who was among the BJP MLAs dropped by the party from candidates chosen to contest the coming Assembly elections in the State, said he has been taught to abide by the decision taken by the seniors in the party.
“In BJP, the senior leaders are wise and we have to accept whatever decisions they take as disciplined soldiers,” he said.
With regard to the party leaders, who quit the BJP in protest against the leadership’s decision against fielding them in the elections, Mr. Eshwarappa said the leaders, who did not follow the discipline, will face the consequences of their actions.
