Can BSY’s exit help Congress, despite choice of Bommai as new CM?
The Hindu
There is a line of thinking that voters who identify with former chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa could help the Congress regain its hold in north Karnataka
The unceremonious exit of B.S. Yediyurappa from the Chief Minister’s post has come as an opportunity for the Congress, with the Opposition party dubbing the turn of events an “insult’ to the Lingayat-Veerashaiva community. The politically powerful community had moved away from the Congress towards BJP, and the Congress is making a determined bid to woo it back ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections. Some of the State’s Congress leaders, who had been attacking Mr. Yediyurappa as “corrupt” and slamming the BJP government for its mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, have now started attacking the BJP high command for constantly “troubling the veteran leader” and forcing him to shed tears while announcing his resignation. The party has demanded that he reveal who caused him to break down so publicly.
