<p>The party workers meeting here on Sunday witnessed senior BJP leaders Basavaraj Bommai and Basanagouda Patil Yatnal exchange taunts and barbs.</p>.<p>Bijapur MLA Yatnal set the ball rolling saying: Congress government will not last long. Siddaramaiah will not relinquish the CM post. That’s when D K Shivakumar will come calling Basavaraj Bommai to threaten Sonia Gandhi. Bommai, please...don’t allow Shivakumar into your house.”</p>.<p>He continued: “Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and Shamanur Shivashankarappa visited the residences of B S Yediyurappa and Bommai recently. They call it a courtesy visit, but the intention behind the visits is different. Why should we let the power hungry rival party leaders inside our house?.”</p>.<p><strong>Also Read | <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/state/somanna-takes-veiled-swipe-at-yediyurappa-1231151.html" target="_blank">Somanna takes veiled swipe at Yediyurappa</a></strong></p>.<p>“Sidaramaiah had recently said that he would not talk to opposition leaders nor visit their houses. We should follow the same - not talk to Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar. If you keep hobnobbing with the (Congress) leaders, it will dent the morale of the party workers,” Yatnal said in his inimitable style.</p>.<p>Countering Yatnal’s beamers, Bommai said, “Goudre, I have never indulged in adjustment politics. Can’t say no to someone who wants to visit my house. But that doesn’t mean that I will compromise on my principles. You don’t worry. People are aware of those who have compromised without visiting houses. We are open and transparent.”</p>.<p>He said BJP was like his mother.
