IndiaTimes Friday, 10 November 2023
B.S. Yediyurappa's son, B.Y. Vijayendra, has been appointed as the Karnataka BJP president in an attempt to consolidate support among the Lingayat community and form an alliance with the JD(S). Vijayendra's appointment is seen as a move to win back the support of the Lingayat community, which is crucial for the BJP in the 2024 elections. The decision also signals that the party still relies on Yediyurappa's mass appeal. Vijayendra is considered a promising leader in Karnataka.
