In a low key homecoming, former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa formally rejoined the BJP on Thursday, more than a year after he deserted the party and floated his own outfit.

Yeddyurappa was welcomed by BJP Karnataka unit President Prahlad Joshi and other senior state leaders as he stepped into the party state headquarters along with his supporters.

He was given the party primary membership at a function in which no national leader was present.
