BJP rebels to support Vijaya, Anitha in ZP election

B C Neelamma, Susheela Lokaiah and K C Meenakumari, three BJP Members had took exception to the decision of BJP to back V M Vijay on the grounds that he had migrated from Congress. ZP former vice-president B C Neelamma said that they met Deputy Speaker K G Bopaiah and spoke about their stand. “He has assured to set right the situation. We know that he will stand by his words and with this assurance, we have decided to support V M Vijay and thereby bring BJP to power at ZP,” said Neelamma speaking to Deccan Herald.

She said that other two members, K C Meenakumari and Susheela Lokaiah too have decided to back Vijay. When questioned as to why she changed her decision all of a sudden, despite the fact that he had clung on to her belief that BJP member should be fielded as ZP presidential candidate for long, Neelamma said that she would reveal the answer after the election.
