It is being seen as an effort to placate Yediyurappa camp
Ahead of the byelections to two Assembly seats, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has appointed two leaders from the camp of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa as his political secretaries.
Former Ministers M.P. Renukacharya and D.N. Jeevaraj, who have been appointed as political secretaries, had earlier served in the same post when Mr. Yediyurappa was the Chief Minister.
Coming just ahead of the commencement of filing of nominations for the bypolls from Friday, the move is being seen in political circles as an effort to placate the followers of Mr. Yediyurappa and ensure that they work actively on ground. Victory in these two seats is crucial for the Chief Minister, particularly with Union Home Minister Amit Shah announcing that the BJP would face the 2023 Assembly elections under him, observed a senior party leader.
