Bengaluru: Chikkaballapur MP Dr. K. Sudhakar has launched a scathing attack on Karnataka BJP State President B.Y. Vijayendra, accusing him of arrogance and showing self-importance. Speaking at a press conference at his residence in Bengaluru, Sudhakar claimed that Vijayendra believes he has already secured the Chief Minister’s position and does not trust anyone.
"Vijayendra does not have the quality to trust people. His arrogance and pride have increased. The party leadership has allowed him to place his preferred individuals in key positions, making whoever he wants the State President, State Secretary, General Secretary, and Vice President. His approach has left me deeply disappointed," Sudhakar remarked.
This comes amid growing discontent within the Karnataka BJP, with Sudhakar joining the ranks of senior leaders like Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, Ramesh Jarkiholi, and Sriramulu, who have also voiced concerns over Vijayendra’s leadership.
Sudhakar, who had defected from the Congress to join the BJP, claimed that he had taken a political risk to ensure B.S. Yediyurappa became Chief Minister. However, he now feels sidelined under Vijayendra’s leadership.
"I came to the BJP at the risk of my political career to support Yediyurappa. But Vijayendra has decided to bury my politics. If I send a message to party national president J.P. Nadda, he responds. But Vijayendra neither takes calls nor replies to messages," he lashed out.

Karwar/Tumakuru: Government offices in three Karnataka towns were placed on high alert on Tuesday after bomb threat emails were received by the tahsildar offices in Karwar and Bhatkal, and the deputy commissioner’s office in Tumakuru.
According to a report published by Deccan Herald, police officials said all three emails originated from a single email ID and contained claims of “revenge from Tamilians and Pakistanis.” Following the threats, security agencies immediately swung into action and the premises were evacuated and thoroughly searched.
Teams from the local police, bomb disposal squad and dog squad were deployed at all locations. Authorities have confirmed that no suspicious objects or explosives were found. They called the threats a hoax, after extensive checks.
Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police Deepan M N said precautionary measures were taken as per protocol to ensure public safety. “A detailed search was conducted at all the mentioned offices, but nothing incriminating was found,” he said.
Police have begun efforts to trace the source of the emails and identify the sender while security around key government buildings in the affected districts was heightened as a precaution, officials added.
