Following the completion of the BJP’s yatra, factionalism within the party has resurfaced. A private meeting of discontented BJP leaders is currently underway at a resort on the outskirts of Belagavi. The gathering is led by influential leaders Ramesh Jarkiholi and Basanagouda Patil Yatnal.

The meeting includes several prominent figures, such as Pratap Simha, Kumar Bangarappa, Annasaheb Jolle, and B.B. Nayak, who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the current party leadership.

In a notable development, Ramesh Jarkiholi and former MP Annasaheb Jolle have reconciled, signaling a significant shift in the party dynamics. The discontented leaders are collectively voicing their grievances against former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and BJP State President B.Y. Vijayendra.
