Party high command wants to "finish off' Yediyurappa politically: BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal
Bengaluru: Ruling BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal on Tuesday added that the party’s central leadership was keen on “finishing off” CM BS Yediyurappa politically and that the state was suffering due to the internal politics.
Yatnal asserted that there were two power centres in the party, one in Delhi and the other one in Bengaluru. He further added that the tussle between the two was hurting the state which was struggling for rehabilitation after it was hit by severe floods.
"Two power centres have emerged - one in Delhi and second one in Bengaluru. We are the victims of their fight. This is not I am saying, but people have started thinking on these lines. This is a target based politics. Just to finish off a person, you cannot finish Karnataka," he told reporters here.
Yatnal also apparently warned the central leadership that the future of the party in Karnataka was in one man’s hand and added that the Centre cannot deny flood relief aid to the state and refuse to meet the CM. He was referring to the alleged failed attempts of Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to meet Modi to seek central aid for the flood relief works.
"Despite so much (of damage due to floods in Karnataka), if he tweets about Bihar and does not tweet about us, how will we answer to the people of Karnataka? Being a BJP MLA, I am also answerable to the people", he said.

Delhi court sentences CBI joint director to 3 months' imprisonment in IRS officer assault case
New Delhi (PTI): A Delhi court has sentenced two CBI officers to three months' imprisonment for assaulting and trespassing into the residence of an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer during a raid over two decades ago.
Judicial Magistrate Shashank Nandan Bhatt was hearing the arguments on the sentence against the convicted retired police officer V K Pandey and Ramneesh, who was serving as a superintendent of police when the raid was conducted in 2000.
Ramneesh is at present a joint director at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The court also fined Rs 50,000 each to both the accused.
Both were accused under IPC sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 427 (mischief) and 448 (criminal trespass) in a complaint filed by IRS officer Ashok Kumar Aggarwal.
The case pertained to an incident on October 19, 2000, when a CBI team carried out a search and arrest operation at Aggarwal's residence in Paschim Vihar.
Aggarwal alleged that the officials forcibly entered his house in the early hours, assaulted him and violated legal procedures during the arrest.
