Eshwarappa, a lifelong ABVP/BJP adherent, was denied a BJP ticket in last years Karnataka assembly polls. But this time, when the party overlooked his son K E Kantheshs bid to contest from neighbouring Haveri Lok Sabha seat, he rebelled. Eshwarappa believes Yediyurappa and his sons engineered Kantheshs rejection, so hes contesting “to teach them a lesson”.
