Bangalore: Former BJP leader in Karnataka BS Yeddyurappa on Friday hinted at returning to the party following it nominating Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as its prime ministerial candidate.
“Will decide after a discussion with senior leaders of our party (Karnataka Janata Party) on Sep 18 and 19,” he told reporters soon after the Bharatiya Janata Party announced Modi's nomination in New Delhi.
Yeddyurappa, BJP's first chief minister in Karnataka, said he welcomed Modi's nomination and he would work for strengthening the NDA (National Democratic Alliance).
Yeddyurappa, who was forced to quit the chief ministership in July 2011 over mining bribery charges, left BJP late last year to head KJP but his party fared poorly in the May 5 Karnataka assembly elections.
