1. Infighting in Karnataka BJP comes to the fore as meetings see ruckus in Vijayapura, Bagalkot
Internal rivalry and blame game in the Karnataka unit of the BJP is spilling over. Monday saw BJP workers belonging to two factions nearly come to blows in back to back party workers’ meetings held at Vijayapura and Bagalkot, exposing differences within the State unit of the party after the Assembly poll debacle.
Meanwhile, senior BJP leader K.S. Eshwarappa was heard blaming “migrants” from Congress for the poor show of the party in the 2023 elections. The BJP is organising district-level party workers’ meetings in which Ministers and State-level party office bearers are meant to speak about the achievements of the nine-year rule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The differences came to the fore in two such meetings in North Karnataka on June 27.
