The BJP has expelled its Karnataka leader Basangouda Patil Yatnal for six years over statements against the party and former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa. The Bijapur MLA was earlier known to be close to the former Chief Minister.
The note from the party said its Central Disciplinary Committee considered his response to a showcause notice sent to him on February 18.
They have taken “serious note of your repeated violations of party discipline, despite your assurances of good behaviour and conduct in response to earlier, the note read.
“It has accordingly been decided to expel you for a period of six years with immediate effect from the primary membership of the party and you stand removed from any party position,” the note added.
