On the eve of the Budget session on Sunday, former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa will fly to Delhi and meet BJP national president J.P. Nadda at 3 p.m. to finalise the choice of Leader of the Opposition in the State.
Given that Mr. Yediyurappa will be meeting the party president only on Sunday afternoon, there is uncertainly over when Legislature Party meeting to elect the Leader of the Opposition will be held, which will have to be before the commencement of the session on Monday.
When the Legislature Party meeting is held, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who was in charge of polls for the party in the State, will likely come as an observer, sources said. Multiple BJP MLAs confirmed that they were yet to receive any communication from the party about the meeting.
