The question is how BOMMAI, which has held several positions of high profile ministers in the past, dealing with political veterans in BJP, many of which are in a race for post cm? Can he confirm himself in front of them and get his vision for the party applied? Some political analysts said BJP seemed to have played the biggest gamble ahead of the 2023 poll by choosing a bommai because he belonged to the conscious sub-sect miscule from the community of Lingayat.

His biggest challenge is the formation of a cabinet because the report conducts a round of senior ministers such as Jagadish Shettar and KS Eshwarappa which is part of the Cabinet Yediyurappa will be abandoned so that young leaders and a group of opportunities.
A little like that, he has a lot on his plate.
Coming from North Karnataka, he will be under pressure to demand the demands of the region, where people cry committing a violation of the disparity of funds.
It must be seen if BOMMAI will be able to intervene and resolve differences in the party.
In recent months, several MLA had been baying for Yediyurappa’s blood.
“The other challenge is working in coordination with BJP senior leaders who are ignored for cm position,” MLA said.
It’s separate, it also has to deal with problems starting from the third wave of Covid-19 to floods and financial crisis.
