Bengaluru: At a time when the ruling BJP is gearing up to hold a brainstorming session ahead of next year’s Assembly polls, Belagavi Rural Congress MLA Lakshmi Hebbalkar, said to be a confidante of KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar, met former Chief Minister and senior BJP leader B.S. Yediyurappa (BSY) at his official residence in Bengaluru yesterday, which has triggered speculation in political circles.
