In a development that is likely to stir a row and the opposition is likely to raise questions, Karnataka BJP MLC CP Yogeshwara’s daughter has threatened to expose him before the party leadership after posting a string of videos on social media narrating her “trauma”. Alleging that he has repeatedly beaten her up when she tried to meet him, Nisha Yogeshwar has warned him against continuing to trouble her.
“Don’t bother me. If you trouble me, I will send the videos to the place where you won’t be able to walk with your head held high,” she said. “I am getting threats that I should not use my father’s name in social media posts and that I should remove them. People are also asking if I have an existence without him. I am facing an inevitable situation where I need to make a statement.”
Nisha, who had earlier met deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar and expressed her wish to join the Congress, said her father left when she was only 10 years old. “Without informing us, he left to build a new family. To those who ask me to become a model daughter, why don’t they ask him to become a model father? He (Yogeshwara) is in public life and is supposed to set an example. If I go to his house, they will call the police. If I ask questions, he will beat me up. He has beaten me up repeatedly when I tried to meet him,” she alleged.
Nisha further alleged that her father, a former minister, even beat up her mother though she does not want anything from him and also accused her stepbrother of assaulting her. She said her mother had even campaigned for her father in the previous elections.
“Even then, she campaigned for him during the last elections. My father even slapped her. My stepbrother assaulted my brother. Is this right? Her belongings were thrown out. Is this correct?” Nisha asked.
She added: “When I ask him for support, he says he won’t give me a single rupee and that I should not depend on him. He tells me to beg for survival. How can I live with my father? I have nothing to lose, I don’t fear anything. I have lost everything in life. All these years, I did whatever he said. Now that I am asserting myself, I have become a bad example.”
