Karnataka BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Tuesday said he will seek an explanation from party leaders, who shared the stage with rowdy-sheeter 'Silent' Sunil and made it clear that he will not be inducted into the party at any cost.
BJP's Bangalore Central MP P C Mohan, Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya, Chickpet MLA Uday Garudahar, Bengaluru South BJP president N R Ramesh among others on Sunday were seen at a blood donation camp with Sunil, which sparked a controversy in some quarters.
