AAA Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi on Saturday said the BJP was a party that followed the Hindu traditions and that is why its leaders wanted the long-pending Cabinet expansion to happen after Makara Sankranti, which falls on January 14.
“I want Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to expand his Cabinet tomorrow and include all the MLAs who quit other parties to join the BJP. I have made this request at all levels in the party. However, the party is following some rules and all of us have to abide by that,” he said.
He added that he had met Bhupender Yadav, BJP national general secretary, for no political reasons. “I had gone to Assam to visit the Kamakhya temple and other religious places. I met him by chance in Guwahati. There is no need to attach any significance to it,” he said.
