Asserting that there was no dissidence in the Karnataka unit of the BJP, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa today said there were no differences in party and all minor issues have been solved.
“There is no dissidence. Whatever minor differences are there, have been resolved,” Yeddyurappa said here.

The Chief Minister said BJP general secretary Dharmendra Pradhan, in charge of party affairs in Karnataka, would be visiting the city next week and no political significance should be attached to it. Pradhan would discuss issues concerning strengthening of the party, Yeddyurappa said.
Meanwhile, state unit BJP President K S Eswarappa met RSS leader Mangesh Bende at Hubli and held discussions. “Eswarappa discussed issues concerning the BJP and not the dissidence,” Prahallad Joshi, MP told reporters.
