The BJP central leadership is planning a major overhaul of the party structure in Karnataka. Following B.S. Yediyurappa's move away from active politics, there is concern that the Lingayat community's support is shifting toward Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar. To counter this and retain other community votes like the Ediga community, the BJP is considering appointing new leaders for the state president and opposition leader posts. Candidates like V. Somanna, Pralhad Joshi, and V. Sunil Kumar are reportedly under consideration for key roles. https://andolana.in/columns/central-leaders-consider-major-surgery-for-bharatiya-janata-party-in-the-state/ #creator program
