BJP rebels fail to oust Vijayendra as high command to decide Karnataka president after Delhi polls

New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: The BJP ‘rebel’ team led by senior leader and Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal pulled out all stops to remove BY Vijayendra from the post of state unit president, but it is to be seen whether their effort yielded the intended results or not. The party high command, busy with the Delhi assembly polls which concluded on Wednesday, is likely to look into Karnataka’s affairs after the results on February 8. Former minister Kumar Bangarappa, whom the rebels tried to project as state presidential candidate if elections are declared, would be placated with the offer of party general secretary, a BJP insider said. “If the high command declares a leader as party president, Yatnal’s faction is unlikely to go,” observed a BJP leader. Besides, Chikkaballapur MP Dr K Sudhakar’s strong exception to the appointment of the district president without his consultation appears to be resolved, and changes in the party’s organisation would reflect after the high command’s decision.
