Expelled Bharatiya Janata Party leader KS Eshwarappa on Monday said he has been invited by the saffron party to rejoin it.
He, however, said he is not in a hurry to join the party and would discuss it before taking a call.
“A few BJP leaders approached me, asking to rejoin the party. I haven't decided yet. I am not in a hurry,” Eshwarappa told the media.
Eshwarappa had rebelled against the party and contested the Lok Sabha election ignoring the party high command’s direction. He was defeated by former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s elder son BY Raghavendra.
The expelled leader, who held several key positions including the Deputy Chief Minister, Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council and the BJP state president, was upset when the party denied his son KE Kantesh a ticket in the recent Lok Sabha election to contest from Haveri Lok Sabha seat.
He opened a front against former Chief Minister and BJP stalwart BS Yediyurappa and his two sons Raghavendra and BJP state president BY Vijayendra accusing them of making BJP a ‘dynastic party’ in Karnataka.
