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.

Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
