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.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
