Indiscipline in BJP, admits DVS

November 23, 2012

Puttur, November 23: Although BJP has always been touted as the 'party with discipline', there has been a decline in disciplinary values in the last three years. It was inevitable in the best interest of the party. But in future the party will not tolerate any indiscipline, said DV Sadananda Gowda, Former Chief Minister.

Speaking to mediapersons in Puttur on Thursday, Mr. Gowda said that the party will not compromise on discipline and anti-party activities even if it means losing power.

Conflicts within the party have been sorted out. Action is being taken against those guilty. In other parties, there are more internal conflicts compared to the BJP and hence people will re-elect BJP to power in the upcoming Assembly elections, Mr.Gowda said.

The Former Chief Minister said that at present no one from the BJP camp has moved to KJP. Even if some one does and then wishes to return to the BJP based on its ideology and values, he will be welcomed, he said.

About contesting for Assembly elections, Mr. Gowda said on the occasion that he has not decided on it as yet. He is willing to contest from Puttur if the party high command asks him to, he said.

On the delay in Mani-Sampaje road work, Mr. Gowda said that by April 2013, the work is expected to end and that it will be made operational by May.
