BANGALORE: After chief minister Jagadish Shettar, it was BJP national general secretary HN Ananth Kumar's turn to attack Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) president B S Yeddyurappa.
Describing KJP as the 'B team' of Congress, created to trouble BJP in the assembly elections, Kumar said "Yeddyurappa became CM chanting Rama's name. Now he has embraced Rome by floating KJP on the birthday of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi." Kumar was addressing the Bangalore Urban BJP workers meeting at Palace Grounds on Monday.
Yeddyurappa officially took over as KJP president on December 9, which was also the birth date of Sonia Gandhi, at a convention in Haveri. Sources perceive Kumar's remark as an attack on Yeddyurappa and the Congress for their alleged tacit understanding.
"Yeddyurappa became CM with the blessings of leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani and the hard work of lakhs of party workers, not because of his efforts alone. He lost the chair because of his own mistakes and nobody is to blame for this," Kumar said.
Comparing KJP with Keshubhai Patel's Gujarat Parivartana Party (GPP), Kumar said the party always considered GPP a non-performer as it worked as the B team for the Congress in Gujarat. "They (Congress) had only one B in Gujarat. In Karnataka, Congress has B, C and D teams," he said.
