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.
