Eshwarappa, Shettar are two eyes of the party, audio is not mine, says Nalin Kateel

Mangaluru: BJP’s State president Nalin Kumar Kateel has said that he is in no way related to the viral audio purported to be of his voice.

Reacting to the issue in the city here he said, “I will write to the chief minister about this. An inquiry should be held only then the truth about the audio clip will come out.”

“We are currently having no discussions about leadership change. Yediyurappa is the soul of the party and he is our unanimous leader. Eshwarappa and Jagdish Shettar are the two eyes of our party,” he added.

“No one is presently under suspicion regarding the audio. Let the facts come out through an investigation. I’ll answer all questions after that. I have also contemplated going to court,” Kateel said.
