Notice on Waqf property to farmers issued during BJP government: MB Patil responds with records
Bengaluru: Minister MB Patil criticised the BJP, accusing them of using the issue of Waqf properties to play divisive politics. Patil highlighted that between 2019 and 2022, during the BJP’s tenure in Karnataka, farmers in Vijayapura district received notices regarding Waqf properties through the Waqf Board. He alleged that the BJP, which is now showing a fabricated concern for Hindu interests, ignored these issues at the time.
Taking to social media platform ‘X’ with the relevant documents, Patil responded sharply, stating, “The BJP, during its own governance, ignored development for the state and engaged in controversies around hijab, halal, and fabricated historical narratives. Now, they’re continuing these tactics under the guise of Waqf property claims. Their deceit will not work here.”

Patil also noted the recent adjustments within the BJP’s internal investigative committee, formed by state BJP president Vijayendra to investigate these issues, after criticism from BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal. The committee was reportedly restructured to include MPs like Ramesh Jigajinagi along with Yatnal, which Patil argued only underscores the party’s internal struggles. He urged the BJP to address the Waqf-related notices issued during its administration before shifting focus to other matters.
Patil further clarified that no farmer in Vijayapura district received any notice labelling their land as Waqf property, challenging the BJP to address internal issues rather than create problems that do not exist.

In a message, the prime minister said Vajpayee's personality, work and leadership will continue to be a guiding light for the all-around development of the nation. He said Vajpayee dedicated his entire life to good governance and nation-building.
"He will always be remembered as a brilliant orator as well as a spirited poet. Vajpayee's personality, work and leadership will continue to be a guiding light for the all-around development of the nation," PM Modi said.
Vajpayee was born on this day in Gwalior in 1924 and passed away in New Delhi on August 16, 2018. The government observes his birth anniversary as Good Governance Day.
The BJP marked the day by its leaders commemorating Vajpayee's legacy in nationwide events. Its chief ministers, Union ministers and MPs, besides organisational leaders, are part of these programmes held across the country.
Vajpayee, India's 13th prime minister, served the country for three terms between 1996 and 2004.
He is known for his valuable contribution to India's economic growth. The 'Operation Vijay', commonly known as the Kargil War, was fought against Pakistan and won during his tenure as prime minister. He made India a nuclear weapons power.
He had a distinguished four-decade parliamentary career, was elected nine times to the Lok Sabha and twice to the Rajya Sabha.
Rising from humble beginnings in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) to the post of prime minister, he received the Padma Vibhushan in 1992 for his selfless dedication to the nation and was conferred with Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in 2015.
Vajpayee championed democratic ideals, women's empowerment, and social equality.
As prime minister, he prioritised good governance and economic development, building national highways, rural roads, expanding telecom, and improving infrastructure.
