Raichur: In open defiance of the BJP central leadership, Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council K.S. Eshwarappa yesterday said that he would go ahead with the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade’s Convention on May 7 or 8 in Raichur.
His statement assumed significance in the wake of State BJP in-charge P. Muralidhar Rao, after holding parleys with some State leaders last week, said: “The central leadership is clear that the party will not tolerate a parallel forum by any name, brigade, or otherwise.”
