The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) might move to disqualify two of its MLAs, ST Somashekar and A Shivaram Hebbar, this month. BY Vijayendra, the state BJP president, shared this news with news agency. His team will recommend tough action against these two lawmakers to the party’s leaders soon.
The BJP’s central disciplinary committee will send them notices explaining why they are in trouble. Vijayendra expects this to happen in the next 3-4 days. The party members believe they need to take strong steps against Somashekar and Hebbar because they have been supporting the ruling Congress party and working against BJP’s interests.
Vijayendra mentioned that the party leadership in Delhi wants to ensure that the state BJP operates smoothly and discourages actions that could harm the party. They want to give Somashekar (from Yeshwantpur) and Hebbar (from Yellapur) a chance to explain themselves in 10 days. After that period, they will ask the Assembly Speaker to start the disqualification process.
The same disciplinary committee is also looking into Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda R Patil (Yatnal) for making negative comments about senior BJP leaders. However, his situation is different; he has violated party rules but hasn’t engaged in any activities against the party.
Somashekar and Hebbar have not followed the party’s orders by voting against the BJP’s official candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections and have campaigned for Congress candidates in recent elections. They are among 17 MLAs who switched from Congress to support the BJP in 2019, helping Yediyurappa take control of the government. Although they were ministers before and contested in the last elections with BJP support, their bond with the party seems to have weakened.
