The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expelled Karnataka MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal for six years over alleged anti-party activities, marking the third time the controversial leader has been removed from the party.
The exact reason for his expulsion remains unclear. However, earlier a show-cause notice was issued to him for criticising the state BJP leadership. Yatnal, known for his outspoken nature and history of rebellion, had reportedly made remarks that embarrassed the party’s leadership, triggering disciplinary action.
This isn’t the first time Yatnal has faced expulsion. In 2015, he was removed after contesting the Vijayapura double-member Legislative Council election as a rebel candidate, defying the party’s decision. Despite multiple warnings, he refused to withdraw his nomination, leading to his removal by then-state BJP president Pralhad Joshi.
The latest expulsion is expected to stir political ripples in Karnataka as Yatnal has a strong local influence and has often been a vocal critic of both state and central BJP leadership.
