BJP’s ‘Suicide Squad’ to torpedo BS Yediyurappa government?

Deccan Chronicle  

KALABURAGI: Denial of cabinet berths which was one of the prime reasons for the collapse of the previous JD-Congress coalition government in the state, could soon haunt the B.S. Sources claim that a ‘suicide squad’ is taking shape within the BJP which could make a strong bid to torpedo the Yediyurappa government and ensure the installation of prominent Congress leader from the Hyderabad-Karnataka region - Mallikarjun Kharge as CM - a post which has eluded the veteran more than once. There is however a lurking danger ‘within’ - with a group of BJP legislators who could be described as the ‘suicide squad,’ fuming over being neglected by the party top brass and more so, by the undue importance accorded to disqualified legislators who have all been promised ministerial berths after the bypolls. According to him, the proposed 'squad' includes legislators drawn from Kalaburagi district, which has been denied representation in the Cabinet for the first time since independence despite sending four legislators of the Bharatiya Janata Party to the Assembly, and also those from Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, Ballari and Chitradurga. “If the Bharatiya Janata Party fails to get the required number of seats, the survival of the Yediyurappa government will anyhow look bleak and we may have to rethink our strategy.
