BANGALORE: The already truncated JD(S) is all set to face another split after the Chamundeshwari bypoll in Dec.
For, senior JD(S) MLA and former minister P G R Sindhia is likely to pull the trigger against party supremo H D Deve Gowda. Sindhia is expected to campaign for Gowda's bete noire Siddaramaiah in the last two days of the by-poll, sources said.
Unhappy over JD(S) joining hands with the BJP, Sindhia had decided to maintain a low profile for some time. He was also planning to revive the Janata Party by bringing together all the disgruntled members in the JD(S) and those who had left it for various reasons.
But for now, Sindhia appears to side with Siddaramaiah, he recently taunted Gowda by describing Siddaramaiah as a pro-farmer leader.
Going a step further, Sindhia along with party's national executive members M P Veerendra Kumar and Surendra Mohan have convened a meeting of the party's national council by December-end in Thiruvananthapuram to decide on expelling Gowda for having joined hands with communal forces.
In a joint statement, they appealed to all the members of the national committee, state unit presidents and members of the state committees to join hands against Gowda for having betrayed the party.
Though Gowda chose not to react, his supporters maintained that the ‘expulsion drama' was being staged in the backdrop of the by poll. JD(S) spokesperson and MLC Y S V Datta said: "There is no legal sanctity to such statements."
