00:00Big breaking news coming in from Karnataka the BJP cracking the whip on
00:04MLA Basangada Patil Yatnal for anti-party activities. He's been suspended for six
00:11years and this is because Yatnal has repeatedly taken on BS Yadu Rappa and
00:16taken on the family including Karnataka BJP chief BY Vijendra and now because of
00:21the same disciplinary action being taken by the BJP against Yatnal he's been
00:26expelled from the party. He's been accused of repeated violations of the
00:31party discipline. Why? Because Yatnal in the last many months has publicly taken
00:36on Yadu Rappa accusing him of being infatuated with ensuring that his son
00:40has powers and saying that Yadu Rappa doesn't care about the party only cares
00:44about his own family. He said Vijendra is close to DK Shivkumar and it's over
00:49these kind of comments are the fact that despite multiple notices Yatnal never
00:53stopped making these kind of comments that now he's been expelled for six
00:57years with immediate effect. Now Yatnal has also reacted to this where in fact
01:02he's dismissed it remaining defiant saying I will continue to do what I do
01:06and even at this point continues to mock Yadu Rappa.
01:23So Yatnal in that statement saying everyone from Yadu Rappa's family has to
01:41come sons grandsons even bring their house dogs and puppies what more is left
01:46to say this is the reward for working hard this is the kind of statements a
01:49guy that Yatnal is making right now after being expelled from the party
01:54clearly at this point not repentant remaining defiant absolutely is one of
02:03the motor mouth when it comes to the VJP party and this is not something new even
02:07for the party members as well as the people who know him very well he has
02:10made these kind of controversial statement despite on 10th of February
02:14there was a show-cause notice which was being issued to Basanagoda party Yatnal
02:18he continued to make a statement against VSD Yadu Rappa against BJP
02:23president as well as other party members from past few days and it was on
02:30expected line that the party might take some kind of disciplinary action and now
02:34they have suspended him for next six years he is not supposed to hold any
02:38kind of position within the office and his even the primary membership has been
02:43expelled for six years what's prompted this kind of actions a guy Yatnal yes
02:50has been a very vocal critic of Yadu Rappa but is this an attempt by the BJP
02:54to kind of quell factionalism within the Karnataka BJP unit absolutely it's an
03:03open secret that there was a factionalism within the Karnataka BJP
03:07unit and even if you notice that Yatnal statement was a major a drawback or a
03:13setback for the BJP in 2023 election and he was one of those person was
03:18responsible for BJP to lose a huge number of seats in the North Karnataka
03:22region because he has openly spoke against the party stating that the
03:26there's a huge corruption charges in the BJP party and he has also a slammed BS
03:32Yadu Rappa when he was a chief minister and despite there were warnings which
03:36was been issued stating that whatever the problem whatever the grievances
03:40whatever the complaint that he had to raise he should freeze within the four
03:44walls of the party but still he made public statements and despite those
03:48warnings he continued to make those statements attacking BS Yadu Rappa and
03:52family members and as well as the corruption charges against them now it
03:56has hurt the party in the 2023 election and despite that he has not let any
04:00lessons he continued to bash BS Yadu Rappa's family and now again even if you
04:05see the latest soundbite which he spoke in Delhi he says that all his family
04:09members including dogs will also come but this is what the reward that he is
04:12getting just speaking being a hard-working party worker it's because
04:18of perhaps that kind of a reaction that the BJP has decided to take this
04:22disciplinary action because Yatnal has refused to you know step back he's
04:28defiant praising it out saying he will continue to target Yadu Rappa clear
04:32evident in the reaction that he's given now saying even Yadu Rappa's dogs in his
04:37house will continue to go forward but those who work hard will be punished in
04:41this manner thanks very much Sagai for joining us with those details
