BANGALORE, Nov 30 � A bitter former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa today quit BJP dealing a big blow to the party he helped build in a 40-year association but it is unlikely to immediately impact the Jagadish Shettar government in the state, reports PTI.
Yeddyurappa faxed a letter to BJP President Nitin Gadkari, resigning from primary membership of the party, with which he was associated right from Jan Sangh days, and later met Assembly Speaker K G Bopaiah and submitted his resignation from the House seat.
�I am forced to take this hard decision to leave the party which I built in the state�, he said in a scathing attack on BJP leadership. �It was a couple of leaders who victimised and pushed me to this situation of no return�.
