Excluded leader BJP Basanagoud Patil Yatnal said that BJP in Karnataka must be “repaired”.
On Friday he spoke to reporters in Mysuru and Mr. Yatnal spoke of “family policy and corruption” by the leader of BS Yediyuppa and said he would create a new party if the saffron party was not “repaired”.
Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi was against dynastic politics and corruption, Mr. Yediyuppa, whose son Vijayendra was made by the Party’s President, has a number of corruption cases in the state.
If the BJP was not “repaired”, Mr. Yatnal said he would create a new party claimed to create a government in the state in 2028.
Although he ruled out the opportunity to meet the high command of the BJP, which removed him from the side and listened to the advice of Mr. Yediyuppa and his son Mr. Vijayendry, Mr. Yatnal said he would only meet people. He also claimed that he was in contact with BJP leaders in the state, except for the duo of “father and son”.
He claimed that BJP leaders were not in favor of Mr. Vijayendra, who continued as the head of the state unit, and the party command would not allow its continuation in the post.
Mr. Yatnal said he had previously created a team of parties, including former Pratap Simha, former ministers Ramesh Jharkioli, Arvind Limbavalli and Kumar Bangarappa, who committed to an honest government if they were given the opportunity.
He also claimed that BJP leader AMIT Shah now realized that it was a “mistake” that had removed it from the side.
He claimed that the Grand Assembly in Madura in the Mandya district, which he addressed on Thursday, favored him to become another Chief Minister of Karnataka.
Regarding the company registered against him by the Police Maddur, Mr. Yatnal said that the government can freely file as many cases as she wished, but he should not ask the main Minister Siddaraiaha to withdraw the case.
He said he claimed that the mosque in Madur, where the stones were allegedly thrown, was a “illegal structure”. “Why does the government not act against such illegal structures?” He asked.
Mr. Yatnal, who challenged the government’s decision to invite the writer Ban Mushtaq to warn Dasar’s festivities this year that Islam does not allow the worship of idols. He asked the writer to refuse the invitation, Mr. Yatnal said that flowers could be thrown on the deity Chamundeshwari only by the person belonging to Sanatana Dharma.
