BJP State leaders summoned to Delhi over cross-voting
BJP leadership has summoned Karnataka state officials to Delhi to address concerns over cross-voting in the recent Legislative Council elections. A fact-finding committee has been established to investigate the incident, though the secret ballot nature of the vote makes identifying individual dissenters difficult.

Internal party discipline and potential leadership restructuring in Karnataka could impact the BJP's political stability and strategy in the region.
BJP national president Nitin Nabin has summoned the party’s State unit president B.Y. Vijayendra, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok, and in-charge of party affairs in the State Radha Mohan Das Agarwal to Delhi on June 23 over cross-voting in the just-concluded Legislative Council elections in Karnataka.
