Bengaluru: The much-hyped meeting between BJP State president B. Yeddyurappa and some BJP leaders ended up as a damp squib on Thursday with the latter boycotting it.
The disgruntled leaders, who had written to Yeddyurappa expressing dissatisfaction over his style of functioning, kept him waiting at the party office at Malleshwaram in Bengaluru, and eventually did not turn up.
Expressing disappointment over the failure of disgruntled leaders to attend the meeting, BJP State general secretary Arvind Limbavali warned of stringent action in consultation with the Central leadership if they continued to issue media statements against Yeddyurappa and party affairs.
Meanwhile, sources said that the leaders, who kept away from the conciliatory meeting, had written to Yeddyurappa informing him about their decision to abstain from the meeting. They asked what purpose the meeting would serve when Yeddyurappa had already declared that there was no question of changing the office-bearers.
