Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a mammoth rally in Shivamogga in Karnataka amid revolt by senior party leader and former deputy chief minister KS Eshwarappa who has decided to contest as a rebel from Bengaluru.

Efforts to pacify him ahead of the prime minister's visit failed as he remained adamant and decided to contest as an independent against BY Raghavendra, son of Yediyurappa and sitting Lok Sabha member from Shimoga to "save the party's ideology".
