Karnataka | Corridors of Power

The Hindu  

Too many vying for LS tickets Perhaps for the first time in coastal Karnataka, many BJP leaders have openly sought the ticket for contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Udupi-Chikkamagalur and Dakshina Kananda constituencies. For the Dakshina Kannada seat, the former State secretary of the BJP Backward Classes Morcha Sathyajit Surathkal and the former chairman of the Karnataka Fisheries Development Corporation Ramachandra Baikampady are aspirants. During the reply to the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address in the Legislative Assembly last week, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah took a jibe at the BJP by saying that the party lost the Assembly elections despite “making Prime Minister Modi roam the streets.” Immediately, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal stood up and said, “We lost because of adjustments you people have made. We were not defeated because of the BJP or the former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.” Mr. Siddaramaiah hit back and taunted Mr. Yatnal about his chief ministerial ambitions. Mr. Yatnal retorted, “No, I have no ambition of becoming the Chief Minister as long as you people are involved in adjustment politics.” When Mr. Siddaramaiah dared Mr. Yatnal to name the leaders involved in the so-called adjustment politics, Mr. Bommai intervened and said quite mysteriously, “All of us, including you and me, have many secrets in the depths of our hearts.
