Rebels to spell more trouble for BJP

Bengaluru: State BJP chief B.S.Yeddyurappa may have expelled 15  rebels for contesting against the party's official candidates, but this could cause more harm to it than good as they are reportedly getting ready to damage its prospects in 15 Assembly constituencies these polls.

While the party has assumed that supporters of the expelled rebels will ditch them and back the official candidates, it appears to have miscalculated as many of  the disgruntled leaders have a support base of their own.
