The BJP Core Committee meeting held in Bengaluru on Thursday decided that leaders will travel across Karnataka in the coming days to strengthen the party organisation. This comes in the wake of the party expelling three of its legislators — Yelahanka MLA ST Somashekar, Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, and Yellapur MLA Shivaram Hebbar — for six years on charges of anti-party activities.

The core committee discussed several issues, including the recent murders in Dakshina Kannada district, cases filed against BJP leaders, and the tiff between LoP in Council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy and Minister Priyank Kharge.
