Cross-voting intensifies mistrust in faction-ridden BJP State unit
BJP MLAs' cross-voting during the recent Legislative Council elections has raised concerns about internal divisions within the party. B.Y. Vijayendra, the state president, is facing criticism from senior leaders who oppose his leadership and have publicly criticized him for deviating from the party's stance against dynastic politics. BJP leaders are concerned that this incident could negatively impact morale and coordination ahead of the 2028 Assembly elections. The party high command will discuss the issue in Delhi on Tuesday, but some senior leaders believe it is a sign of the need for improved coordination between coalition partners.
