A delegation of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Yadgir district met party State president B.Y. Vijayendra in Bengaluru on Tuesday and urged him to finalize the name of Sharanagouda Badiyal for the post of district unit president.
Mr. Badiyal has been serving in the party in different capacities for two decades now. Yadgir district was placed second in the State as far as membership enrollment is concerned when Mr. Badiyal was the district convenor for the drive, members of the delegation told Mr. Vijayendra.
The members further said that Shorapur, Shahapur and Yadgir taluks in the district have had the opportunity as leaders from these taluks served as district unit president. Gurmitkal is the only taluk from where no leader has been appointed as district unit president so far. Mr. Badiyal belongs to Gurmitkal taluk. Therefore, he may be considered for the post, they said.
“Responding to the appeal by the delegation, Mr. Vijayendra, who received a memorandum, said that he will go to Yadgir district and discuss the issue with local leaders,” the former Chairman of Yadgir CMC Vilas Patil, who was part of the delegation, told The Hindu over phone.
