Can BJP win back Karnataka by turning to Yediyurappa, Deve Gowda?

Hindustan Times  

​Six months after it lost the Karnataka election, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s state unit has got a new president in B Y Vijayendra, the son of veteran BJP leader B S Yediyurappa. Buying peace with Yediyurappa is the second major strategic retreat by the BJP in the state, the first being forging an alliance with the Janata Dal or JD, the regional party of HD Deve Gowda. While Yediyurappa became the chief minister after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, there was continuous friction between him and the party high command which led to him being replaced by BS Bommai as the state’s chief minister. To be sure, a coming together of Lingayat and Vokkaliga patriarchs could also trigger an AHINDA polarization in favour of the Congress The political optics of BJP’s newly appointed state president Vijayendra visiting HD Deve Gowda signify the coming together of two most influential social groups in Karnataka’s politics, namely the Lingayats and Vokkaligas.
