Mangaluru: The Karnataka BJP is embroiled in dissidence and the party’s state unit President BS Yeddyurappa who has miserably failed in handling the situation, said MLC Ivan D’Souza.

Speaking to reporters at his office here on September 29, Saturday, he said the BJP has failed four times in its attempt to dislodge the coalition government. Only those who have no faith in democracy will resort to such misadventure, he added.

Factionalism of leaders like R Ashok and DV Sadananda Gowda is gaining an upper hand in the BJP and Yeddyurappa who is helpless is day dreaming of becoming the CM. One really feels pity for him, he added.
