Former Karanataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa to skip BJP meet

NEW DELHI: Former Karanataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa said on Saturday that he would not attend the party’s national executive meet in Mumbai on May 23. “There is political indecisiveness in the state BJP. I have decided not to participate in BJP executive meeting. There is need for introspection,” Yeddyurappa said in Bangalore.

His decision to miss the BJP meeting comes five days after he stopped just short of quitting the party, along with his supporters. The former Karnataka chief minister said that the voices of senior BJP leaders like Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj are being stifled within the party.
