Karnataka BJP president meets PM Modi amid factionalism, seeks blessings for completing one year in office.
Karnataka BJP president B.Y. Vijayendra on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his office in New Delhi, as he completes one year in office as State party chief.
This meeting comes amid factionalism in the party, with a section led by Basanagouda R. Patil Yatnal, MLA, seeking a leadership change.
After the meeting, Mr. Vijayendra said on X, “I met the Prime Minister to seek his blessings on completing one year of taking charge as State president. The invaluable moments spent with the Prime Minister today have given me inspiration for strengthening the party and contributing to the nation’s progress.”

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
