On rebel BJP leaders who have been denied tickets, Yediyurappa said that he will speak to the rebel leaders and pacify them. “The victory has to be achieved with their support,” he said.

“I have spoken personally with sitting BJP MP Sanganna Karadi four to five times. He is a loyal senior party leader. I am hopeful that being a senior leader he will never take any decision against the party,” he said.

Yediyurappa said that J.C. Madhuswamy, an aspirant of Tumakuru Parliamentary Constituency will also be pacified. “He was a ticket aspirant and naturally he is upset with the denial of a ticket. I am also hopeful that Eshwarappa who declared his candidature as an independent candidate in Shivamogga against the BJP candidate will understand the truth and mend his ways in a day or two,” he said.

He also slammed the Congress over their alleged luring of the rebel BJP leaders to its fold. “It is shameful that Congress is trying to pull the dissatisfied leaders from BJP. They are struggling to get suitable candidates. The revolutionary change should be facilitated in the country under the leadership of PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah,” he said.

Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
