He has to win both the seats to assert himself ahead of the 2023 Assembly polls
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is facing the tricky task of taking all factions in the BJP together during campaigning for by-elections to two Assembly seats scheduled on October 30.
Though the BJP has the advantage of being in power, the stakes are high for Mr. Bommai as this is his first electoral test after becoming Chief Minister, especially in the wake of the party central leadership declaring that he would lead the party in the 2023 Assembly polls. A misstep will give a handle to his detractors within the party to appeal to the party high command to keep the option on the leadership open.
