Bommai to continue as CM, BJP leaders rebuff leadership change speculation

Bangalore, 3/5: BJP national general secretary Arun Singh on Tuesday said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai will not be removed, dubbing questions on change in leadership “hypothetical”.

 

 

Singh was responding to speculation that Bommai may be replaced as part of a full-fledged rejig ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections.

 

“Hypothetical questions won’t have an answer,” Singh, who manages the BJP’s affairs in Karnataka, said when asked about change in leadership. “Bommai is a common man. People like him for the way he’s working for the poor and farmers under PM Modi’s leadership,” he said.
