Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, who faced corrupt charges and even spent few days in jail, was expelled from BJP few months ago. Then he launched his own political party Karnataka Jantha Paksha, hoping that he can make a clean swipe in the assembly elections held a couple of months ago. Though he couldn’t make dent in the elections, he was successful in bringing down the ruling BJP in Karnataka government.

During the election campaign, BJP president Rajnath Singh, senior leaders LK Advani, Narendra Modi have categorically said that the party is now free from corrupt leaders after Yeddyurappa’s exit from the party. He also flayed the BJP for betraying him and promised to teach a good lesson to it in the elections and he even kept his word by ensuring its defeat. Their conflict paves way for Congress party to grab the power in the state after two decades.

Then both he and BJP regrets for what had happened between them. Hence, BJP has sent feelers inviting him back into party and he too has shown all positive indications for his return. In his recent interview to media Yeddyurappa has said “I have already received some communication from BJP President Rajnath Singh and other senior leaders. I haven't come to any decision. I have to discuss about it with my colleagues. We will take a decision at an appropriate time. Modi is the "tallest" leader and more than half the people in the country want his leadership.”

Therefore, BJP may roll a red carpet to him in wake of the upcoming general elections in 2014.
