Trouble in Karnataka BJP: Central leader Arun Singh to visit state next week to end tussle

With the trouble still brewing in the Karnataka BJP unit after some leaders reportedly have been planning to unseat BS Yediyurappa and CM's loyalists indulging a signature campaign against Cabinet Minister CP Yogeshwar suspecting his role, the center BJP leadership will deploy, Karnataka in-charge Arun Singh to end the tussle.

Central BJP leader and Karnataka in-charge Arun Singh will arrive in Bengaluru next Wednesday to take stock of the situation and to end the ongoing tussle within the party.

Recently, CP Yogeshwar, tourism minister, visited Delhi with a set of problems to discuss with central leaders. While this meeting was said to be personal, CM's loyalist MP Renukacharya and others termed it as political and an attempt to destabilize the BS Yediyurappa-led administration.

It is said that the party is now split in two camps, one in favor of CM BS Yediyurappa and another against him. And Arun Singh is likely to meet all leaders and will either give a written communication or may orally give a report to party high command regarding the situation. The attempt to send Arun Singh is seen as a chance to end the tussle and ensure a smooth administration of BJP and to face the 2023 election.

Recently, chief whip in Karnataka Assembly and Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar also expressed concern over unhealthy developments in the party and media reports openly stated his remarks via social media.

"Remarks coming in the media in the last 3 days are not good for the interest of the party. A few comments from a few people is not the same of all MLAs and party workers. We can't tell our opinion to the media, or request party leaders to provide us a platform to hear us," Kumar wrote on his Twitter handle.

The tweet is said to be following media reports about the government handling Covid, its decision, corruption charges, and others.

Another interesting development is that none from the high command gave any response to the 'change of CM in Karnataka' controversy despite Karnataka BJP President, Central Ministers, and Karnataka Ministers throwing their weight behind BS Yediyurappa.
