Vijayendra rejects Shivakumar link, says ‘truth will be out’

Published by Parlour News

6 min readJun 26, 2026 01:15 PM IST Karnataka BJP president B Y Vijayendra, who is in the eye of an internal party storm after cross-voting by party MLAs in the June 18 MLC elections, has sought to allay speculation that his close ties with Chief Minister D K Shivakumar played a role in the development. During the course of a visit to the temple town of Dharmasthala—where he had earlier sought to hold a BJP legislature meeting to get the MLAs to swear on God regarding their voting—Vijayendra said on Friday that he had no business or friendly ties with Shivakumar. With senior BJP leaders suggesting that the holding of a legislature meeting in Dharmasthala would set a bad precedent, Vijayendra made a solo visit to the temple. “I have done the job of stating the truth before this holy place and before the party workers. If I were to stoop to the level of persons who have indulged in adjustment politics (by cross-voting) I would be equally complicit. The question does not arise. …

2 min readBengaluruMay 25, 2026 04:09 AM IST BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Sunday targeted the Congress government in Karnataka, alleging that the administration had “betrayed” the people of the state and diverted its focus away from development and welfare activities over the past three years. Speaking during his two-day visit to Karnataka, Nabin said the ruling Congress in the state was plagued by internal conflicts and accused its leaders of “using power for personal interests” rather than governance. “The Karnataka government has deceived the people here over the past three years, betrayed the trust of the people, and because of their internal conflicts, public welfare works have taken a back seat,” he said. He indirectly referred to the ‘power tussle’ between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar. Claiming that the state government was disconnected from public concerns, Nabin said, “The government here has nothing to do with the interests of the people. The leaders running this government are using the government and power merely as instruments for themselves.” He alleged …

It had adopted an outstanding development model and emerged as a leader for the entire nation. But under the Congress government’s administration, all these distinctions have been lost, and the …

Vijayendra predicted that ‘major changes’ will take place in the ruling Congress in Karnataka in the next couple of months.  Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru on February 19, Mr. Vijayendra said the internal tussle in the ruling Congress and the government over the leadership issue had reached a crucial stage now.  “On the one hand, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah says Congress high command is supreme, he is a loyal worker of the party and abide by whatever decision is taken by the high command (on the leadership issue). On the other, his supporters have gone to Delhi and warned the high command of taking their own decision if the high command does not listen to them,” he claimed.

Yatnal to Vij to Kirodi Lal: After Delhi win, BJP cracks whip, aims to get house in order | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

Days after it registered a resounding victory in the Delhi Assembly polls, the BJP has shifted its focus to address rumblings in some state units, and has issued show cause notices to three senior leaders for speaking out against the party leadership in their respective states. Apart from the timing of the notices, the point that the BJP central leadership is involved in it has reinforced the perception that discipline is of critical importance for the party. Following its Assembly poll successes in Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi, the BJP’s current action is also being perceived as its bid to warn the leaders who have persistently challenged some regional party faces appointed to key positions by the central leadership. Story continues below this ad However, a senior BJP leader told The Indian Express that this action could not be linked to the poll outcomes per se. “The leaders (slapped with show-cause notices) are not those without whom the party’s prospects may be hurt in any of the states. Sometimes, a message has to be given that …
