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.

Bhatkal: In a development that has raised concerns in the Bhatkal area, the suspicious death of 35-year-old civil engineer Fahad Motiya occurred around 9:30 PM on Saturday. Fahad, son of Farooq Motiya, has left behind several unanswered questions regarding the circumstances of his death.

Fahad reportedly left his aunt’s residence near Abu Ubaida Mosque on Goodluck Road around 9 PM on his bike. Shortly after, his body was discovered a short distance away. His bike was found parked approximately 30 steps from the location in a downhill area near Hurulisal.

Eyewitnesses stated that some passers-by noticed a person lying on the ground in the dark and moved him under a nearby streetlight to check on him, only to find that Fahad was unresponsive. Local leaders who arrived at the scene immediately rushed him to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.

As news of Fahad’s death spread, large crowds gathered at the hospital. While some suspected that he might have suffered a cardiac arrest, others pointed to faint marks visible on his neck, which medical professionals reportedly identified as concerning.

Family members and close associates revealed that Fahad had been under stress due to financial disputes and was allegedly attacked 15 days ago. They suspect that he may have been strangled or suffocated with a cloth by the perpetrators.

The Bhatkal Rural Police have visited the scene and gathered evidence, examining the distance between the bike and the body, among other details. Bhatkal DySP Mahesh assured a thorough investigation into the threats and assaults Fahad had faced previously.

Fahad’s body has been sent to Manipal for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death. City Police Station PSI Naveen, Rural PSI Chandan Gopal, forensic expert Ramesh, and other officials inspected the scene and are continuing the investigation.
