BJP’s internal rivalry takes an ugly turn
Former CM Sadananda Gowda slams factionalism; MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal asks him to shut up
Bengaluru: The ongoing internal rift within the Karnataka BJP escalated yesterday with a heated exchange between former Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda and rebel legislator Basanagouda Patil Yatnal.
Yatnal, leading a dissenting faction against State BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra, dismissed Gowda’s criticism, bluntly advising him to “shut his mouth.”
Sadananda Gowda expressed deep disappointment over BJP central leadership’s inaction regarding the growing internal discord, particularly the open revolt against Vijayendra led by Yatnal.
“I have written to the central leadership twice, urging them to intervene and address the infighting. It’s disheartening that my appeals have gone unacknowledged,” Gowda said, adding that he plans to visit Delhi to escalate the matter.
