Vijayendra wants to hold BJP legislature party meeting in Dharmasthala to ‘seek truth’ on cross-voting
B.Y. Vijayendra, state president of the BJP, announced a legislature party meeting at Dharmasthala to uncover the truth behind cross-voting by some MLAs during the recent Legislative Council election. He plans to discuss this with R. Ashok, Leader of the Opposition, and believes that holding the meeting at the pilgrimage center will encourage MLAs to publicly vouch for their votes. The BJP-JD(S) combine suffered a setback in the election, with 11 MLAs from the combine allegedly voting against the party's candidate. Mr. Vijayendra is upset by the public criticism and hopes this meeting will clear his name and address concerns about cross-voting within the party.
