Eshwarappa, former minister and BJP leader, stands resolute in his decision to contest as an Independent from the Shivamogga Lok Sabha seat, despite returning from Delhi without meeting Home Minister Amit Shah. Eshwarappa, after being indirectly advised to proceed with his plan to contest, affirms his commitment to his decision. He asserts that there will be no further negotiations, expressing confidence in BJP’s future in Karnataka.
