Stating that the list obtained from the district was discussed at the core committee meeting, Bommai said there was a need for discussion in the district again as the MPs and the MLAs would talk to the party president on the candidates.
To a query on those willing to join the party, Bommai said there were also talks in the core committee meeting regarding the induction of leaders from other parties but no final decision was taken.
He also said that the core committee discussed the ‘Jan Swaraj Yatra’, which will start on November 18 and four teams will tour the four different parts of the state.
Earlier in the day, the BJP state spokesperson Ganesh Karnik had briefed reporters that the Jan Swaraj Yatra focuses on winning the Taluk and district Panchayat elections.
