BJP’s defeat in elections due to your loose talk: Renukacharya targets Yatnal
Bengaluru: Former Minister M.P. Renukacharya launched a scathing attack on MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, blaming him for the BJP’s defeat in the recent by-elections.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Renukacharya said, “The BJP lost the elections because of your loose and foul talk. State BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra has already demonstrated his organisational capabilities, but the party suffered losses due to your careless remarks. Are you bigger than Narendra Modi? The BJP’s efforts in the Waqf struggle were supported by Shobha Karandlaje and Pralhad Joshi, not you,” he criticised.
He went further, alleging, “Yatnal has been given a ‘contract’ by Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to destroy the BJP. He is behaving like a Congress agent. His electoral success was the result of adjustments.”
Renukacharya also dismissed allegations of parallel meetings within the party, clarifying, “We are not conducting alternative meetings. We are travelling as part of the party’s platform. For the upcoming Davangere rally, we will invite national leaders. Our travel is focused on party organisation and its welfare.”
