Bengaluru: Ruling BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal on Tuesday added that the party’s central leadership was keen on “finishing off” CM BS Yediyurappa politically and that the state was suffering due to the internal politics.
Yatnal asserted that there were two power centres in the party, one in Delhi and the other one in Bengaluru. He further added that the tussle between the two was hurting the state which was struggling for rehabilitation after it was hit by severe floods.
"Two power centres have emerged - one in Delhi and second one in Bengaluru. We are the victims of their fight. This is not I am saying, but people have started thinking on these lines. This is a target based politics. Just to finish off a person, you cannot finish Karnataka," he told reporters here.
Yatnal also apparently warned the central leadership that the future of the party in Karnataka was in one man’s hand and added that the Centre cannot deny flood relief aid to the state and refuse to meet the CM. He was referring to the alleged failed attempts of Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to meet Modi to seek central aid for the flood relief works.
"Despite so much (of damage due to floods in Karnataka), if he tweets about Bihar and does not tweet about us, how will we answer to the people of Karnataka? Being a BJP MLA, I am also answerable to the people", he said.

Rome, Feb 22 (AP): Pope Francis was in critical condition Saturday after he suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis that required high flows of oxygen, the Vatican said.
Francis, who has been hospitalised for a week with a complex lung infection, also received blood transfusions after tests showed a condition associated with anemia, the Vatican said in a late update.
“The Holy Father continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair although in more pain than yesterday. At the moment the prognosis is reserved,” the statement said.
