No room for factional politics in party: Karnataka BJP chief Vijayendra

Hindustan Times  

Karnataka BJP president B Y Vijayendra on Sunday said there is no room for factional politics in the party, and organising meetings was unacceptable. Amid factional rift within the state BJP, a few "like-minded" party leaders and former legislators led by former minister M P Renukacharya had recently said they plan to hold a mega rally in Davangere in the coming days, which was seen as a "show of strength" in favour of Vijayendra. The proposed rally is being seen as a counter to the faction of party leaders led by senior MLAs Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and Ramesh Jarkiholi, who are critical of state leadership, especially Vijayendra. Vijayendra, in a post on 'X', asserting that there is no room for factional politics in the BJP said, "As the state president, I will be calling a meeting of party MLAs, former MLAs, and all party elders very soon aimed at taking everyone into confidence and further strengthening the party organisation."
