Expelled Leader Eshwarappa Weighs Rejoining BJP

Expelled BJP leader K S Eshwarappa revealed he has been invited to rejoin the saffron party but remains undecided. Eshwarappa, who previously held significant positions within the party, fell out with the leadership over ticket denial for his son. He has been critical of BJP's 'dynastic' politics.

Expelled BJP leader K S Eshwarappa announced on Monday that the saffron party has extended an invitation for him to return. He remains cautious, stating that he is not in a rush to make a decision.

'A few BJP leaders approached me, asking to rejoin the party. I haven't decided yet. I am not in a hurry,' Eshwarappa told reporters.

Eshwarappa had rebelled against the party and contested the Lok Sabha election against the high command’s directive, eventually losing to former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s elder son, B Y Raghavendra.

Previously holding roles such as Deputy Chief Minister and BJP state president, Eshwarappa was disgruntled when his son, K E Kantesh, was denied a ticket for the Haveri Lok Sabha seat. He publicly accused B S Yediyurappa and his sons, Raghavendra and BJP state president B Y Vijayendra, of turning BJP into a 'dynastic party' in Karnataka.
