Karnataka: BJP expels ex-Dy CM Eshwarappa for 6 years

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday expelled senior leader KS Eshwarappa for six years for “embarrassing” the party by deciding to contest as an independent from Shivamogga constituency in Karnataka.Eshwarappa, earlier this month, had announced to contest the Lok Sabha election as an independent candidate after the BJP denied a poll ticket to his son KE Kanthesh from Haveri, and instead fielded former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai. Referring to ex-chief minister BS Yediyurappa and his sons, the rebel leader had said that he is contesting the election as an independent to “free the BJP from the control of father and sons”.
The former deputy chief minister landed in a controversy after he used Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photo for poll campaigning despite filing a nomination for the Lok Sabha election as an independent candidate.Following this, the BJP, on April 10, filed a complaint to the Election Commission to bar Eshwarappa from using Modi's photo, adding that the former deputy chief minister has been “misleading” the public that he is contesting on behalf of PM Modi and the BJP.Reacting to the development, one of Eshwarappa’s close aides said they were expecting the expulsion.There have long been reports of a rift between Eshwarappa and Yediyurappa. After his son Kantesh was denied a ticket.Voting for the Shivamogga constituency will be held in the third phase of the Lok Sabha polls on May 7.
