Bengaluru: The day after taking an oath, Basavaraj Bommai explained that he would not be the minister of rubber head, while his predecessor, BS Yediyurappa, said that he would not interfere in the election of members or administrative new cabinet.
Apart from these statements, some BJP senior officials are worried that two power centers can arise, which leads to arguments and delays in policy.
“It is difficult to see Yediyurappa absent from the scene.
He will try to remain involved, if not for his inheritance, then for his son with a Vijayendra career.
Bommai might face pressure to accommodate the request of Yediyurappa, and this can cause a power struggle,” said a BJP MLA senior.
Brass BJP influenced the change in leadership this week with the eye in the assembly selection of 2023.
Yediyurappa, 78, has crossed the party’s age limit, and Kuningan wants to provide adequate new leaders of time before the poll.
By choosing Bommai, ensuring that Yediyurappa did not leave the Bitter and BJP linglayat support base to remain intact.
Bommai looked for Yediyurappa’s blessing before taking an oath on Wednesday and met him again the following day before starting his first visit as CM to North Karnataka.
These interactions have triggered congressional charges that Bommai is “Shadow of Yediyurappa”.
This is not the first time Yediyurappa faces the back seat claims.
After resigning in 2011, he nominated DV Sadandada Gowda for POS CM.
Gowda took over, but had a difficult time after he did not apply some Yediyurappa policy suggestions.
Gowda resigned in 2012 and Jagadish Shettar, a linglayat, took over.
Shettar faces the same situation.
There are several examples in other party administration too.
In 2004-05, the ministerial head at that time N Dharam Singh from Congress, who had formed a government with JD (s) support, had a challenging time because HD Deve Gowda continued to write letters about administrative things to him.
One part in BJP believes that Bommai might not face the scenario as he knows how to handle Yediyurappa.
In addition, he received support from the HIGH Command party.
“In the early days of the new CM, the influence of the predecessor was clearly visible.
Bommai has indicated that Yediyurappa is his mentor who will guide him.
So the bommai sits, it will be interesting to see if he carves a free road and depends on the leadership of BJP Center,” Political Analyst Sandeep Shastri , He added: “It would be very difficult for the new CM to completely get out of the shadow of his predecessor.
However, someone cannot rule out CM gradually confirm his position.” As soon as the Bommai sat, it would be interesting to see if he made a free road and depend on BJP leadership center.
