Bengaluru: The cold war between BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa and senior leader K S Eshwarappa has almost died down. But it looks like their close aides are involved in a feud in relation to a model.

According to a TV channel, B S Yeddyurappa’s PA Santhosh had given supari to eliminate Eshwarappa’s PA Vinay since the latter had personal videos of Santhosh with a model.

Santhosh had a relationship with a model and she had kept some of the private videos and WhatsApp messages. The secret videos and messages were given to Eshwarappa’s PA by the model. Hence Santhosh asked BJP Yuva Morcha President Rajendra to abduct Vinay. Rajendra thereby asked rowdy-sheeters to kidnap Vinay and recover Vinay’s mobile and pen drive which had the secret videos. Though rowdy-sheeters were promised favours, they had not been given a single rupee to exhibit the crime.

RSS knew Santhosh’ case

The RSS leaders knew about BSY’s close aide Santhosh’ case and 15 days ago BSY and RSS leaders had held a meeting in this regard. In the meeting, BSY was advised to change his PA (Santhosh) and appoint K P Siddalingaswamy in his place. But BSY had not taken a decision in this regard, reported Public TV.

It may be recalled that on July 11, a group of miscreants arrived in a car and attempted to abduct Vinay near Mahalaxmi Layout.

On July 11, Mahalakshmi Layout police questioned Rajendra Urs, an aide of Yeddyurappa, in connection with attempt to kidnapping Eshwarappa’s aide Vinay. Few habitual offenders were arrested in the case, who during investigation revealed that they had committed the crime at the behest of Urs and three others.
