Minister has alleged interference by CM in his department
The unprecedented action of senior BJP leader and Karnataka Minister has not only kicked up political dust in the ruling party but also indicated that divisions in the party are getting further deepened. Some leaders in the party believe that the situation is similar to that during the BJP rule in 2008 whose performance was marred owing to infighting between the pro and anti-Yediyurappa camps.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
