Bommai government faces obstacles from within BJP’s ranks in Karnataka, with some leaders alleging corruption, contradicting the party line, and making embarrassing statements.
Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai has struggled to manage voter expectations. Bengaluru's crumbling infrastructure & graft charges against his government have added to his woes.
The 30-year old doctor, who was working at a private hospital, had left for duty around 8 am Friday morning and was later found hanging from the ceiling fan in her flat.
The two leaders have a history of acrimony, but since Yediyurappa’s ouster, Santhosh’s influence, control and authority in the Karnataka BJP is only growing by the day.
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.
BJP chief Nadda said Yediyurappa is 'taking care of things in his own way,' in contrast to Karnataka CM saying he will decide upon receiving directions from BJP high command.
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.

Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
