BS Yediyurappa, who resigned as Karnataka’s chief minister on 26 July, has been repeating for the past 10 days a Cryptic line about his future responsibility in his party, the BJP. “I will work for Bharatiya Janata Party’s return to power In Karnataka in 2023,” he reiterated, even on Monday when he delivered an emotional resignation speech.
While the reassurance is aimed toward quelling a crisis within the Karnataka BJP, it’s become apparent that no amount Of smooth talk would kill dissidence, which has been brewing for the past several months within the party. As a preview for what lies ahead, several leaders of the BJP made it crystal clear on Monday that they’re going to not Entertain Yediyurappa in any role within the state BJP unit.
The first act of defiance was the absence of some BJP MLAs, ministers, and senior leaders at the function persisted Monday to mark the 2 years of the BJP-led governance within the state.
