Belagavi: BJP MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi has criticized BJP Karnataka State President B.Y. Vijayendra, calling for his immediate replacement, claiming he lacks the capability to manage the role effectively.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Monday, he said, "Yeddiyurappa is a born fighter. But Vijayendra is not even equal to the dust on Yediyurappa's feet. He is a man fit to mourn in jeans and a T-shirt. He needs at least four more years before he can handle the responsibilities of state president."
Jarkiholi further alleged that Vijayendra has threatened leaders from backward and Scheduled Caste communities to rally behind him. "Most of those who support him belong to backward communities, with no significant representation from Lingayats or Vokkaligas. Even Renukacharya is aligning with him purely for political survival," he said.

Addressing the ongoing controversy regarding the show-cause notice issued to Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal for his controversial remarks, Jarkiholi stated, "This notice is not a new development. Yatnal will provide an appropriate explanation to the party high command. We stand firmly with Yatnal and will communicate this to the leadership."
