Veteran BJP leader and former minister K. S. Eshwarappa, who met party’s key strategist and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on January 11, is learnt to have made several suggestions to strengthen the party organisation ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, including the need to amicably resolve the issues related to senior leaders Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and V. Somanna.
While Mr. Eshwarappa has desisted from making any comments on his meeting with the party’s central leaders, sources in the party said he suggested that resolving the issues related to senior leaders like Mr Yatnal and Mr Somanna by taking them into confidence would go a long way in strengthening the party organisation ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
