Brigade won't back BJP, BSY
Eshwarappa said Sangolli Rayanna Brigade has no intention to make B S Yeddyurappa the next chief minister or bring the BJP to power. It's only aim is upliftment of poor and downtrodden, reports DHNS from Kalaburagi. There has been a change in the brigade's stance. Earlier, it had plans to make him the chief minister. But, he has stated that he doesn't need the brigade's support and, the public will make him the chief minister. On the advice of seers of various mutts, it has been decided not to extend support to any political party. The brigade will also not emerge as a political party, he added.
