Basangouda Ramangouda Patil Yatnal (born 13 December 1963) is an Indian BJP politician who was the Minister of state for Textiles from 1 July 2002 to 8 September 2003 and Minister of state for Railways from 8 September 2003 to 16 May 2004 and current MLA from Bijapur City Assembly constituency since 2018. He has been a member of parliament from the Bijapur constituency for two terms and has been a member of the legislative council from the Bijapur Local Authorities constituency for one term.
Political career
Yatnal contested as a candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party and was elected from the Bijapur constituency in the 1994 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election.[1] In the 1999 Indian general election, he contested and was elected from the Bijapur constituency of the Lok Sabha.[2] He was re-elected to the Lok Sabha in the 2004 Indian general election.[3] He was denied candidacy to contest on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2009 Indian general election.[4]
In 2010, he joined the Janata Dal (Secular).[5] In the 2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, he contested as a candidate of the Janata Dal (Secular) but lost the election from the Bijapur constituency.[6] He later rejoined the Bharatiya Janata Party after being denied the post of state president by the Janata Dal (Secular) in the same year.[7]
In 2015, he was expelled from the Bharatiya Janata Party for 6 years for not withdrawing his nomination as an independent candidate for the twin constituencies of the Bijapur Local Authorities constituency of the Karnataka Legislative Council.[8] He won the election alongside S. R. Patil of the Indian National Congress.[9]
In 2018, he was re-inducted into the Bharatiya Janata Party after 3 years.[10] The Deccan Chronicle noted that his adoption of a hardcore Hindu nationalist stance and support of the Lingayat community aided him in being considered by the party president Amit Shah without understanding the local politics and BSY capability.[11] He contested as a candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party and won the election for a 2nd time from the Bijapur constituency in the 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election.[12]
In February 2020, Yatnal sparked a row by calling centenarian freedom fighter H. S. Doreswamy, a Pakistani agent.[13]
On 9 November 2020, Yatnal had a jibe at Islamic and Christian festivals and practices and called for “noiseless Fridays, bloodless Bakrid and cracker-less New Year Eve”.[14]
