Why B.S. Yediyurappa had to make way for Basavaraj Bommai as Karnataka chief minister

India Today  

On July 16, B.S. On July 27, when the BJP’s Karnataka legislators elected loyalist Basavaraj Bommai, 61, as his successor, it reflected Yediyurappa’s indispensability to the party. Santhosh managed to get his loyalists appointed to the state unit, Yediyurappa’s cabinet, the party’s national team, along with the Union cabinet. It was Yediyurappa’s grip on the Lingayat community that made the BJP high command go slow on the generational shift in the party’s Karnataka unit. But the Lingayat vote split between Yediyurappa’s KJP and the BJP, which had another Lingayat, Jagadish Shettar, as chief minister.
