Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, who was allowed to leave Bangalore by the CBI court has planned to tour all the districts in the state from August 20.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday after unfurling the national flag at the BJP office on the occasion of Independence Day, he said that he has convened a meeting of his supporters, including ministers and legislators on Friday and finalise the tour programme.
“In the first phase of the statewide tour, I have plans to visit about 10 districts and meet party workers at the local level,” Yeddyurappa said.
Yeddyurappa’s decision to tour the state has put the party’s Central leaders in quandary as it is being said that Yeddyurappa is touring the state ostensibly to strengthen his position.
Meanwhile, his supporters are putting pressure on central party leaders to appoint him as the state president.
“The state tour is being undertaken to meet the people who were suffering from severe drought and also to meet party workers,” Yeddyurappa said.
Yeddyurappa’s earlier plan to tour the state was shelved following the CBI court’s restriction not to leave Bangalore. However, that restriction has been revoked now.
