Karnataka politics: Is all well between KJP and BJP?

Bangalore, Jan 22: Though the former chief minister of Karnataka - BS Yeddyurappa - has been saying that the party he launched - Karnataka Janata Party (KJP), has merged with the BJP, there still remains a mystery about this issue.

Two of the six MLAs from the party have gone against the party diktat and defiantly remain in the KJP. The two MLAs from the North Karnataka region of Gulbarga and Yadgir are worried that the large number of minorities in their constituency will not like it if they went with the BJP, reported IBN.

KJP MLA BR Patil said, "Two-thirds of the MLAs have joined the BJP. But two of us (MLAs) have not. All along I have been a Janata Party man. It's difficult for me and my friends also to go with the BJP. Of course, there are a large number of minorities in our constituencies. There are two opinions, pro and against. We have to discuss."
