"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.

'The Ba**ds of Bollywood’ mirrors my life, damages my reputation: Sameer Wankhede tells Delhi HC
New Delhi: IRS officer Sameer Wankhede has submitted his reply to the Delhi High Court in the defamation case he filed against Red Chillies Entertainment, the production company owned by actor Shah Rukh Khan. The case pertains to the recently released series The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, which Wankhede claims has defamed him.
In his statement to the court, Wankhede asserted that the show’s portrayal of a police officer is clearly based on him and has caused serious harm to his public image. He cited four key reasons supporting his claim.
First, he said the character in question bears physical similarities to him, including facial and body features. Second, he noted that the character’s working style and mannerisms closely resemble his own.
Third, Wankhede highlighted that the officer in the show is depicted making a high-profile arrest involving a major film personality, which he said directly mirrors his own involvement in the Aryan Khan drug case.
Fourth, he pointed out that the character frequently uses the phrase “Satyameva Jayate,” a motto he himself had used during media interactions in the course of that investigation. He argued that using the national motto in such a context cannot be dismissed as creative expression or humour.
Wankhede also referred to an interview in which Aryan Khan allegedly admitted that the show was “inspired by some real events.” This, he said, contradicts Red Chillies Entertainment’s claim that The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is purely fictional.
He further alleged that the tone and intent of the series indicate personal and institutional vendetta, aimed at discrediting and defaming him rather than engaging in artistic storytelling.
Wankhede informed the court that the fallout from the show has affected his family, with his wife and sister receiving abusive and vulgar messages online.
Rejecting Red Chillies’ argument that he is a “thin-skinned” officer, Wankhede said that a public servant cannot be expected to tolerate false and damaging portrayals simply because of his position. He emphasized that his legal action seeks to protect the constitutional rights and dignity of both himself and his family.
