Basanagouda patil Yatnal was expelled by the BJP for six years to be in charge of IndiScipline, he hinted that if the dominance of the former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa family continues in the BJP unit in Karnataka. He told reporters in Vijayapura on March 30 that the new party will focus on Hinduism and all-round development in North Karnataka.

He said: “Mr. Yediyurappa and his son Vijayendra are not only corrupt, but also engaged in political adjustment. They failed to protect Hindutva activists in Karnataka.”

He said: “Karnataka needs a strong leader like Yogi Adityanath or Himanta Biswa Sarma who will run the state according to the principles of Hindutva. It also requires an honest chief minister. If I become CM, I will complete all the pending irrigation projects with a much lower irrigation project than is currently estimated,” he said.

He set a deadline until the Vijaya Dashami Festival forms its own party. “If the BJP Senior Command does not get rid of the party of the Yediyurappa family, I will consider resigning and forming a new party. If the BJP Senior Command has freed the party from Mr. Yediyurappa and his children with the wisdom of its wisdom, I will return to the BJP. Otherwise, I will return to my own path.”

He ruled out returning to JD(S) or joining Congress, which he called a “pro-Muslim party.”

“This average person is feeling a new political force in the state, with the focus on the development of Hindwa and northern Karnataka. We don’t know if this is the feeling of a few people, or it is a general feeling. First, we will explore it online and offline. If the BJP accepts the situation where I evacuate Yediyurappa and its children at the party, I will make a decision with supporters everywhere.
