Former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa has intensified his attack on the BJP’s national leadership which has rejected the plea from the party’s state leaders for retaining Yeddyurappa in the party. Yeddyurappa, who is touring Haveri to supervise the preparations for the mega rally to be held there on December 10 to formally announce the floating of Karnataka Janata Party (KJP), came down heavily against BJP national president Nitin Gadkari.
