"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.

Power tariffs under BESCOM to rise from May 1
Bengaluru (PTI): Power bills for consumers under the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) will go up from May 1, following an order issued by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) on Friday.
The hike comes after KERC allowed the BESCOM to recover a revenue deficit of Rs 2,068 crore incurred in 2024-25, from the consumers.
As a result, for every unit of electricity consumed in 2024-25, the customers will be charged an additional 56 paise, it said.
"BESCOM shall calculate, for each of the active consumers of FY2024-25 the amount to be recovered based on their actual energy consumption during FY2024-25. Such amount shall be recovered during FY 2026-27 in equal monthly instalments, to be called as 'FY25 True up Charges', commencing from the first meter reading date falling on or after 1 May 2026 and concluding with the reading date ending on 30 April 2027," the order said.
"It is further ordered that BESCOM shall maintain a separate head of account, allocated for the purpose, to record the adjustment of the said amount to ensure full recovery of the deficit," it added.
Similarly Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC) has also recorded a revenue deficit of Rs 121.71 crore and can collect an additional 15 paisa per unit for consumption in 2024-25, official sources said.
