Bengaluru, Jun 18: BJP Karnataka state in-charge, Arun Singh, dropped clear hints about what is in his mind by not providing an opportunity to dissident legislators, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, and Arvind Bellad, who are in the forefront in making a vociferous demand for a leadership change at the state level, to meet him.

Both had conveyed to Singh their intention to meet Singh and had informed the office. But Singh reportedly decided against meeting them.

Yatnal had openly lampooned Arun Singh and Yediyurappa and he had been served with disciplinary action notice. Bellad has been visiting Delhi often in an effort to change the leadership at the state level. He had overlooked the instructions issued by BJP state president, Nalin Kumar Kateel, not indulge in political activities or statements at a time when the state is reeling under Covid19. Because of these things, Singh decided not to meet these two leaders, sources claimed.
