New Delhi/Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader Basanagouda Patil Yatnal on Wednesday said he has explained to the party leadership in detail the alleged "adjustment politics, grand corruption and dynastic politics" prevailing in the Karnataka unit of the party.

The MLA said he has submitted a six-page reply to the notice served to him by BJP Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC) member secretary Om Pathak for his “tirade against the state-level party leadership and defiance of party directives.”

“In my letter, I have said that our party should come out of the adjustment politics, grand corruption, clutches of dynastic politics and the voice of Hindutva should grow stronger because UP, Assam, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh are now leaning towards Hindutva,” Yatnal told reporters in New Delhi.

According to him, people of Karnataka are not ready to accept anyone against Hindutva.

“I have also explained the serious cases against Yediyurappa and his family and the adjustment politics,” Yatnal added.

He said he demanded a neutral national leader for Karnataka.

Yatnal said that there were many neutral leaders, who were unhappy with the Yediyurappa family, but they are not speaking against the former CM because of internal discipline.

Yatnal is a strong critic of BJP veteran B S Yediyurappa and his family, especially his son and the party's Karnataka chief B Y Vijayendra.

He has often targeted them and demanded that the BJP central leadership check Yediyurappa's 'dynasty politics' in order to fight against the 'dynasty politics' of Congress effectively.

Yatnal along with a few senior BJP leaders, including MLA Ramesh Jarkiholi, Arvind Limbavali, Mahesh Kumtahalli, and Madhu

Bangarappa had taken out a month-long anti-Waqf march from Bidar to Chamarajanagar. The march started on November 25 and will conclude on December 25.

The march is widely perceived as a show of strength by the anti-Vijayendra faction within the BJP. Yatnal has said the march was not directed against any individual but aimed at "protecting farmers, Sanatana Dharma, and Hindus from eviction notices issued by the state Waqf Board."

However, the march is perceived as a show of strength against Yediyurappa and Vijayendra. It does not have the sanction of the state party leadership.

Mangaluru: Students and parents have alleged that despite paying the examination fees, a college administration and Mangalore University are refusing to issue hall tickets, citing non-receipt of the fees. They claim that students are being pressured to pay the fees again.

Following a police complaint, the college administration has acknowledged receiving the payment but is now allegedly demanding the withdrawal of the complaint in exchange for issuing the hall tickets.

Speaking at a press conference in the city on Monday, Ayesha Apna, a second-year B.Sc. student of Food Nutrition and Food Technology at PA College, Konaje, detailed her ordeal. She explained that on November 18, she paid ₹3,200 as examination fees through the Unified University and College Management System (UUCMS) portal. The payment was successfully processed. However, the college administration later claimed that the fees for a total of 26 students, including her, had not been received and demanded repayment.

Upon further investigation, it was found that the payment status on the portal was marked as "initiated." A complaint was filed on December 3 at the Konaje police station, with copies forwarded to the Higher Education Minister, local MLA U.T. Khader, and the Police Commissioner.

After the complaint, the college administration allegedly pressured the students to withdraw it. On December 7, the portal updated the payment status to "success." However, even as of now, with semester exams scheduled for December 12, the hall tickets have not been issued, she alleged.

Advocate Saheed Baddoor, speaking on behalf of the students, accused the college administration of operating a systematic scam to extract additional fees from students. He urged the concerned authorities and the government to investigate the matter and ensure justice for economically weaker students.

Student Reshna Mishria and her father Abdul Khader K.H. were also present at the press meet.
