Yatnal will not get credit for party’s performance in Bagalkot: Appu Pattanshetti

BJP candidates will win the byelections to the Bagalkot Assembly constituency and Davangere South Assembly constituency, but Basanagouda Patil Yatnal will not get any credit for the party’s performance in Bagalkot, said Appu Pattanshetti, former MLA and BJP leader, in Vijayapura on Saturday (April 18).

“Every party worker in Bagalkot and senior leaders from across the State have worked for the success of Viranna Charantimath, the BJP nominee in Bagalkot. It is a collective effort, and cannot be ascribed to one person’s efforts. Mr. Yatnal was expelled for his anti-party activities and unfounded criticism of senior leaders. Why will an expelled MLA get credit for the party’s performance?” asked Mr. Pattanshetti.
