Bommai government faces obstacles from within BJP’s ranks in Karnataka, with some leaders alleging corruption, contradicting the party line, and making embarrassing statements.

In 60 days in office, Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai has passionately defended the RSS, looked to bridge party and govt, and sought to shake off image as a Yediyurappa loyalist.
Speaking at BJP executive meeting in Davanagere Sunday, Yediyurappa also warned that if party doesn’t win 2 upcoming bypolls, it will not send the right message.
Tourism Minister Anand Singh and Municipal Administration & Small Scale Industries' Minister N Nagaraj have expressed displeasure over their portfolio, and sought "weighty" ones.

Yediyurappa said that the BJP high command will decide on action against MLC A H Vishwanath for statements against the CM's younger son and party vice president B Y Vijayendra.
