BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa, on Monday, stated that he will visit Belagavi on Tuesday and convince the heads of various mutts to call off their agitation for a separate North Karnataka state.
In a press statement, Yeddyurappa blamed Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy for the current unrest in North Karnataka.
He referred to the issue wherein, Kumaraswamy reportedly told North Karnataka farmers that they had no moral right to demand crop loan waiver because they had not voted for JD(S) in the Assembly polls.
Kumaraswamy was trying to divide the state for the sake of power and survival, Yeddyurappa stated.
The BJP always stood for a united Karnataka and at no cost will it support the division of the state, Yeddyurappa stated.
