A special meeting of the BJP executive was held in Bengaluru on Saturday. In which former Chief Minister and senior BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa claimed that no one can stop the BJP from coming to power in Karnataka. We will win at least 130-140 seats. The ‘Main Hoon Chief Minister’ tussle has already started in the Congress. Who is the leader of Congress? Rahul Gandhi?
Dharmendra Pradhan made election in-charge
BJP has made Dharmendra Pradhan in-charge and Annamalai as co-in-charge for the assembly elections. Regarding this, Yeddyurappa said that Annamalai is a capable leader and Dharmendra Pradhan is a very senior leader. Will help our party win the election.
The BJP general secretary on Saturday issued a letter regarding the appointment of Dharmendra Pradhan as the Karnataka assembly election in-charge.
Yeddyurappa has refused to contest the election: Said- I am 80 years old, cannot contest the election
During the press conference on Monday, Yeddyurappa had said that he will not contest the upcoming assembly elections, nor does he have any desire to contest any election in future. I am 80 years old now. I can’t contest elections. However, he later clarified that he would continue in active politics.
Tell that the state has to hold elections by May. As the elections draw near, Yeddyurappa’s importance in the party is increasing. He is also a member of the Central Parliamentary Committee of the party. The support of the Lingayat community is with him. The former Chief Minister said that my aim is to bring the Modi government back to power in 2024.
Yeddyurappa wants to take his son into politics
It is believed that Yeddyurappa wants to field his son BY Vijayendra in Karnataka politics. He had earlier announced that Vijayendra would contest from the Shikaripura assembly constituency, which he represents. He later said that the party would take a final call on it.
Yeddyurappa was Chief Minister for 4 times, never could complete the term
Yeddyurappa first became the Chief Minister of Karnataka on 12 November 2007, but had to resign just seven days later on 19 November 2007. After this, on 30 May 2008, he became the Chief Minister for the second time. Resigned on August 4, 2011, this time due to serious allegations of corruption. Became the Chief Minister for the third time on 17 May 2018 and then resigned just six days later on 23 May 2018. Became the Chief Minister for the fourth time on 26 July 2019 and resigned exactly two years later.
Lingayat influence in 100 assembly seats in Karnataka
The Lingayat community in Karnataka is around 17%. The Lingayat community has influence on almost half of the state’s population. In such a situation, it will not be easy for the BJP to ignore Yedi. To do so would mean losing the votes of this community.
