Bangalore: It is recently known that BJP MLAs themselves asked CM Yeddyurappa to drop Excise Minister MP Renukacharya from the cabinet, and also went to state chief K.S Eashwarappa to press this demand, as he (MPR) was behind the political crisis faced by BJP since a few months. Known sources revealed here today.
The MLAs were from Bangalore who made the demand. They alleged that he (MPR) was responsible for some 15 dissidents going out to other states and staying in resorts there giving rise to a cancerous crisis in BJP.
However, they also felt that Yeddyurappa would not give up his favourite disciple M.P Renukacharya, even if the latter was behind the entire fight for survival situation in BJP.
In spite of it all, there are chances of CM changing the portfolio of Renukacharya from Excise to sports, a political source has indicated.
