Karnataka Bharatiya Janata Party NEET Basanagouda Patil Yatnal BY Vijayendra HD Kumaraswamy NMC KSRTC

1. Karnataka BJP meets to elect Leader of Opposition today

The State executive meeting of the Karnataka unit of the BJP — to elect the Leader of Opposition — is underway in the presence of central observers in Bengaluru. The deliberations are happening six months after the formation of the new government. The party recently elected B.Y. Vijayendra, son of Lingayat strongman and former CM B.S. Yediyurappa, as new chief of State unit.

Meanwhile, amid reports of disgruntlement over Vijayendra’s election, Vijayapura MLA and former Union Minister Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has publicly demanded that North Karnataka be given representation, by electing a legislator from that region for the position of Leader of Opposition. There can be no compromise on this, Mr. Yatnal said while speaking to medipersons.
