BJP expels five supporters of Kumar Bangarappa in Shivamogga district

The Shivamogga district unit of the BJP has expelled five party workers for anti-party activities. The decision follows a report from the Sorab block, where the members publicly criticized party leaders and discussed internal issues. The expelled workers are supporters of former BJP MLA Kumar Bangarappa. Their actions included holding a press conference that went against party protocols. This expulsion is seen as a signal to Kumar Bangarappa, who has aligned himself with BJP leader Basanagouda Patil Yatnal.
