Vijayapura: BJP MLA from the city Basangouda Patil Yatnal in an indirect attack has said that he was a minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government while Sadanand Gowda has become a minister now, hence he is senior and not Gowda.

Yatnal also reacted to the statement of Gowda that Yatnal is not the party’s State president but a common legislator and he alone cannot decide on Cabinet expansion by saying that the Union Minister is right, as even Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has said that he is a common servant of the public so am I.

“He is not senior to me in the party. It was during his tenure as the party’s State president that I was suspended from the party for 6 years. I think that was probably because he loves me a lot,” Yatnal joked.
