BJP serves show-cause notice to party MLA and Yediyurappa critic Yatnal

Party to take a final view on the matter if Yatnal fails to reply

Days after he launched a month-long anti-Waqf march that apparently did not have the state unit's sanction, Karnataka BJP MLA and known Yediyurappa critic Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has been served with a show-cause notice by the party for his "continuing tirade against the state level party leadership."

BJP's Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC) has served the notice to the Vijayapura MLA and asked him to reply within 10 days.

A defiant Yatnal, responding to the notice said his commitment to the fight for Hindutva and against 'dynastic politics' will continue.

"Your tirade against the state level party leadership and your defiance of party directives and making public pronouncements and stance in contravention of party's official stand on all matters of political and public importance has been reported in media as well as by different party forums," Om Pathak, CDC member secretary said in his show cause notice on December 1, which was shared with media on Monday.

The party said it would proceed to take a final view on the matter if Yatnal fails to give a reply within the stipulated time.
