Eshwarappa Snubs PM’s Rally Amid Ticket Dispute

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to arrive in Shivamogga city, the home district of former Chief Minister and BJP Central Election Committee member, BS Yediyurappa…reports Asian Lite News

Senior BJP leader K S Eshwarappa, embroiled in a dispute over the denial of a ticket to his son for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Haveri, chose to skip Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in an apparent snub to the party. The 75-year-old former Deputy Chief Minister, who declined the invitation to attend the event, was observed visiting religious institutions associated with various communities instead.

Eshwarappa, adamant in his decision, has declared his intention to contest independently from Shimoga (Shivamogga) in the forthcoming polls. He squarely blames veteran BJP leader B S Yediyurappa and his son, B Y Vijayendra, the state BJP President, for the refusal of a ticket to his son, K E Kantesh.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to arrive in Shivamogga city, the home district of former Chief Minister and BJP Central Election Committee member, BS Yediyurappa. His planned rally, expected to draw a crowd of approximately 2.5 lakh people, aims to bolster support for the NDA ahead of the elections.

PM Modi, announcing his itinerary on social media, expressed enthusiasm for the fervor evident in Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu in favor of the NDA. Scheduled to arrive in Shivamogga by 1:30 p.m., he will lead a roadshow before addressing the assembled gathering at the Allama Prabhu ground. Party workers and constituents from Shivamogga, Davanagere, Chitradurga, and Udupi-Chikmagalur constituencies are expected to attend the rally.
