New Delhi: Karnataka state senior RSS leader Mukund is expected to attend the meet convened by BJP national president Amit Shah, to iron out the differences between state BJP leaders B S Yeddyurappa and K S Eshwarappa on Friday.

It is gathered that Mukund has received an invitation from Shah who has sought his opinion on the rift between the two party leaders.

Mukund is learnt to have met several senior RSS leaders in the state and is likely to convey the organisation’s opinion to Shah.

Since both Yeddyurappa and Eshwarappa have claimed that the RSS is backing their decisions, Shah wants to hear the opinion of the party directly and also the possible steps to be taken to address the crisis ,stated a senior party leader speaking to DHNS.

With assembly polls round the corner Shah, who has been watching the ongoing drama from Delhi has already gathered information from various leaders including Muralidhara Rao — general secretary incharge of the party affairs in Karnataka — with a view to put an end to the problems immediately.

While some state BJP leaders said Eshwarappa should be allowed to continue with his Sangolli Rayanna Brigade as a non-political organisation, others feel it would harm the party as it had already created confusion among the cadre.

Shah is expected to take a decision on whether to allow Eshwarappa to continue with the outfit or make changes in the list of office-bearers appointed by Yeddyurappa to assuage the feelings of disgruntled leaders.
