Bengaluru, June 27 (UNI) Signaling a clear shift in Karnataka BJP's political tempo, senior leader and MP Basavaraj Bommai today confirmed that the process for appointing a state and national BJP president will begin soon. He downplayed all talk of internal discord, asserting that the party remains Karnataka’s most stable political force.

“The process to appoint both the BJP’s state and national president will start shortly. The decision lies solely with the senior leadership, and no one else can interfere. Their verdict will be final,” Bommai said, putting an end to speculation over internal confusion.

“If any political party in Karnataka is free from internal unrest, it is the Bharatiya Janata Party,” he added, declaring that the ‘bell has already begun to ring’ for leadership changes.

These comments come in the wake of a party meeting here in the City.

The assertion of unity also comes even as Karnataka BJP pesident Vijayendra Yediyurappa unveiled the party’s aggressive campaign roadmap to take on the Congress government. Following a high-level strategy meeting, Vijayendra said the BJP would form nine to ten task teams to tour districts, assess local grievances, and organise targeted protests.

“We discussed how to confront the Congress government's failures head-on. We aim to take up local issues at district headquarters through structured protests. This isn’t about any internal rift — it's about organisational planning and priority,” Vijayendra said.

He too hinted at an impending leadership announcement, noting, “A new BJP state president will be announced soon.”

With both Bommai and Vijayendra projecting a confident and coordinated front, the BJP appears to be sharpening its attack against the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government — while ensuring any talk of factionalism is firmly put to rest.
