When CM BS Yediyurappa descended from his post on Monday, he also placed the political future of the 16 opponent’s legislators, who played an important role in bringing BJP in power in Karnataka two years ago, at stake.
As the conversation from the Yediyurappa exit increased, 16 ‘outsiders’, which crossed the hallway to join BJP in 2019, was in a state of flux on their own future prospects.
The sources in BJP show that the new CM will be chosen by the central leadership, no matter who it is, most likely will try to produce 11 ‘ministers outside’ in the cabinet to accommodate more young people and party loyalists, who have saved grudges because they did not get maturity.
