"Gave his father GPA to lead party,”Yatnal’s jibe at Vijayendra on reports of BSY undertaking tours
Bengaluru: Expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal took a swipe at BJP state president B.Y. Vijayendra, claiming that he (Vijayendra), who is incapable of handling the party has effectively handed over a GPA to his revered father, B.S. Yediyurappa, to lead the party and make all decisions on his behalf.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Yatnal remarked that the situation within the BJP has become such that "venerable elders" now come to the party office daily to hold meetings and consultations, a responsibility that should lie with the state president.
He further mocked, stating that Yediyurappa is now undertaking all the tours and duties that Vijayendra should be handling as party chief.
“It’s unfortunate that those who weren’t even invited to the parliamentary board meeting are now leading the national party,” Yatnal quipped.
He concluded by saying that no one can hide the reality of what's happening in the state BJP, which, according to him, is being run as per the "orders of the venerable father."
ಪಕ್ಷ ನಡೆಸಲು ಅಸಮರ್ಥರಾಗಿರುವ ವಿಜಯೇಂದ್ರ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಪೂಜ್ಯ ತಂದೆಗೆ ಪಕ್ಷವನ್ನು ಮುನ್ನೆಡಸಲು, ನಿರ್ಧಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲು GPA ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇಳಿವಯಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂಜ್ಯನೀಯರು ನಿತ್ಯ ಕಚೇರಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಸಭೆ/ಸಮಾಲೋಚನೆ ನಡೆಸುವ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಬಂದೊದಗಿದೆ.

Rupee slips 1 paisa to 90.67 against US dollar in early session
Mumbai (PTI): The rupee slipped by 1 paisa to 90.67 against the US dollar in the early session on Monday amid FII outflows and a stronger greenback.
A marginal rise in global crude oil prices and a sharp decline in the country's forex reserves also weighed on the local unit, according to forex traders.
At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened higher at 90.63 before falling to 90.67 against the US dollar, down 1 paisa from its previous close.
The rupee consolidated in a narrow range and settled 5 paise lower at 90.66 against the US dollar on Friday.
"The rupee opened slightly stronger from Friday close and should remain in a small range on a day when cash demand will be lower due to US Presidential Day holiday," Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, said.
Markets will watch out for India's trade balance figures, which could be released by the commerce ministry on Monday, he said.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.02 per cent higher at 96.93.
