BJP issues notice to its MLA in Karnataka for questioning the Centre on flood relief

Politics
MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal had told the media said that the BJP was not taking the issue of carrying out relief and rehabilitation works in Karnataka seriously.
The BJP’s disciplinary committee has issued a show cause notice to its legislator from Bijapur City Basangouda Patil Yatnal for speaking against his own party. The member secretary of the committee, Om Pathak, in the notice, accuses Basangouda Yatnal of insulting sand denigrating the “herculean efforts” made by the BJP to provide relief to flood-affected victims. Basangouda Patil Yatnal had on October 2 told the media said that the party was not taking the issue of carrying out relief and rehabilitation works in the state seriously. “This is beyond politics. This is about the emotions of the people. Even after the state suffered devastating floods, Modi didn’t tweet for us, but he did for the people of Bihar. People will ask if Modi tweeted for Bihar just because elections are approaching there. Is this what people get for voting the BJP? The party should take it seriously. Or else, it will lose its ground in south India,” he had said. Following this, the show cause notice has been issued. The notice states that Basangouda Patil Yatnal threatened the party and its leaders by suggesting to the people of Karnataka that the party leaders must be taught a lesson. “As a sitting MLA of the Bharatiya Janata Party, you have given public interviews to TV channels… Threatened the party and its leaders by suggesting to the people of Karnataka and inciting them to teach party leaders a lesson by trashing them, thus calling for physical violence and causing unrest amongst people by spreading,” the notice states. Om Pathak accused Yatnal of spreading lies and making allegations against the BJP leadership, calling them “power centres”. “Your intent utterances and allegations against the party and its leaders constitute a serious breach of the party discipline as defined,” it states. Basangouda Yatnal had said that the 25 BJP MPs from Karnataka must speak up and demand funds for flood relief. “BJP has 25 MPs from Karnataka. They should speak up. It is their duty to protect people's interests. The country is above the party, then comes our state, then our people, the party comes last. We as individuals come after that. The MPs should bring it to the Prime Minister's notice. The Prime Minister should also take it seriously. Otherwise, it sends a wrong message to the people of Karnataka,” Yatnal had said.
