The cold war within the BJPโs Karnataka unit has snowballed after senior MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal accused former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa of blackmailing the partyโs high command to appoint his son B.Y. Vijayendra as the partyโs state unit chief. Reported The News Minute.
After leveling the allegations on Monday night, the MLA said: โI donโt know why the high command got fearful. They talk about discipline. Are we slaves? Donโt we have strength? Even we have the support of the people.โ Patil said.
โYediyurappa had blackmailed central leaders saying that he wonโt campaign for the 2025 Lok Sabha elections. He told the high command that he wonโt move across the state and confine himself to the Shivamogga district.โ Patil alleged.
