Vijaypur: Video of BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal speaking at the inauguration of developmental works at Vijaypur’s 3rd Ward near Hanumantha Temple Compound has gone viral on various social networking sites on Tuesday. He is seen saying that BS Yediyurappa will not remain in the post of the Chief Minister for long and that the next Chief Minister of the state is sure to come from North Karnataka.
The MLA from the same ruling party said, “The central government is now fed up of Yediyurappa. He will not remain in the CM post for long.”
“It is the people of North Karnataka, who have won over 100 MLA seats and sent them to Vidhana Soudha. As for the rest of the party, only 15 MLA’s have won for the BJP. Yet, one of them has become the chief minister, which is not okay. After this, the next chief minister will come from North Karnataka. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured that the next chief minister will be appointed from North Karnataka.”
“Chief Minister Yediyurappa has cut from the 125 crores grant given to my constituency. Because of this, there is a rift between Yediyurappa and me”, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal said in the viral video clip.

Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak booked in Punjab
Chandigarh (PTI): Punjab Police is learnt to have booked Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak, who recently defected to the BJP, sources said on Saturday.
Two FIRs have been lodged against Pathak under non-bailable sections, they said.
No further details about the FIRs have been disclosed yet.
Pathak was among the seven Rajya Sabha MPs who had quit the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and joined the BJP.
On April 24, the AAP suffered a jolt when seven of its 10 Rajya Sabha MPs -- Pathak, Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal, Harbhajan Singh, Rajendra Gupta, Vikramjit Sahney and Swati Maliwal -- quit, alleging that Arvind Kejriwal's party had strayed from its principles, values and core morals.
Six of the seven MPs were from Punjab.
Later, Rajya Sabha Chairman C P Radhakrishnan officially accepted their merger with the BJP, reducing AAP's strength in the Upper House to three.
