The decision was announced by Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar and state BJP chief KS Eshwarappa. Eshwarappa said steps were being taken to get Basavaraj suspended from the Lok Sabha too. The action comes a day ahead of Yeddyurappa launching his own outfit, Karnataka Janata Party, on Sunday. He had quit the BJP on the 30th of November.
