MP K. Sudhakar takes a dig at Vijayendra, calls him arrogant
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.

SC grants bail to filmmaker Vikram Bhatt in cheating case
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to filmmaker Vikram Bhatt in a multi-crore rupees cheating case lodged in Rajasthan.
A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi also regularised the interim bail granted earlier to Bhatt's wife Shwetambari Bhatt in the case.
Shwetambari Bhatt was granted interim bail on February 13.
Earlier on January 31, the Rajasthan High Court had rejected their bail applications in the cheating case.

They were arrested in Mumbai and brought to Udaipur in December last year.
While granting bail to both, the top court asked the parties to make efforts for arriving at an amicable solution through mediation.
Complainant Ajay Murdia, founder of Indira IVF and Fertility Centre and a resident of Udaipur, has alleged in his complaint that Bhatt and his wife induced him to invest over Rs 30 crore in a biopic of his late wife, promising high returns.
Vikram Bhatt was arrested after Murdia filed a complaint of cheating and criminal breach of trust against the filmmaker, his wife and others, alleging that funds taken in the name of a film project were misappropriated.
The complaint has alleged that funds to the tune of Rs 30 crore were misappropriated. The complaint alleged that the Bhatts prepared fake bills under various names and got money transferred from the complainant.
The money was supposed to be for making films for the complainant, but was allegedly deposited into the accused's own accounts and used by them.
Apart from Vikram and his wife, Udaipur-based Dinesh Kataria and Bhatt's manager, Mehboob Ansari, were also arrested by Rajasthan Police on December 7, 2025.
