Rumblings in Karnataka BJP as MLAs camp against CM Yediyurappa to seek his ouster

India Today  

Ever since the first wave of coronavirus infections began last year, there have been murmurs in Karnataka's power corridors that Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa's time is up and that he will have to make way for a new face. In the latest, BJP MLAs have started uniting against the chief minister, with some of them making trips to Delhi to meet the party high command and express their "disappointment". Top sources in the BJP say the duo urged the high command to take up the issue of change in leadership and instruct the chief minister to call a legislative party meet. If the party high command decides to replace Yediyurappa with another Lingayat leader, the probable CM face is likely to be among these: 1) Laxam Savadi 2) Murgesh Nirani 3) Basangouda Yatnal 4) Basavaraj Bommai In case the BJP decides to go for a CM from some other community, the key candidates for the CM post are: 1) CN Ashwathnarayan, from Vokkaliga community 2) Pralhad Joshi, Brahmin 3) Eshwarappa, from Kuruba community 4) Govind Karjol, Dalit leader 5) Sunil Kumar, Idiga However, the BJP is known to throw surprises. BJP high command tight-lipped While rumblings in the Karnataka BJP have been on for a while, the party's top leadership has not spoken anything about the situation in the state, neither has it reprimanded any MLA who has spoken aginst the chief minister in public.
