Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, the MLA from Vijayapura, expressed his disapproval of former Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa's act of bowing to Union Home Minister Amit Shah during the 'Abhimanotsava' event in Davanagere, stating it was inappropriate for a senior leader to perform such an act towards a younger politician.
