“Some vested interests in the State BJP want to push me into national politics. That is because they see me as a bad omen and want to remove me from State politics. But I am not interested in going there. I will stay here and repair all bad elements in the party,” BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal said in Belagavi on Tuesday.
“I have clarified before national leaders that I am not interested in fighting Lok Sabha polls and that I will fight for the victory of anyone who gets party ticket for the general elections,” he said in response to a query.
“Some Congress leaders claimed that pro-Pak slogans were not raised in the Assembly. Now that the FSL report has proved that they were indeed raised, these leaders should resign,” he demanded.
