Bengaluru: Reigniting an erstwhile controversy, Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP) founder Padmanabha Prasanna Kumar has alleged that there is a threat to his life from BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje.
Speaking to the media in Bhagalkote on Saturday, Kumar sought security from the government.
Kumar alleged that his life is at risk as he possesses a CD with visuals of “Shobha’s marriage with BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa in a temple in Kerala”.
“I am not releasing the CD just yet because I have a threat to my life. If the chief minister provides me with adequate security to ensure my safety, I will release the CD. I have nothing against Yeddyurappa as it is Shobha who has been misleading him,” said Kumar.
Kumar first came up with these allegations in January 2016, three years after KJP merged with the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The KJP was founded in December 2012 after BS Yeddyurappa, along with several leaders from the BJP, including Shobha, walked out of the party.
The party, which diluted BJP's vote share in the subsequent elections, soon joined the BJP less than a year after it was formed, causing friction between Kumar and Yeddyurappa.
