The BJP’s shocking defeat in the byelection to Hangal Assembly constituency is learnt to have caused concern among the party’s central leadership, which will take stock of developments and incorporate these lessons in the party’s strategy for the 2023 Assembly elections.
The party leadership is said to be particularly concerned as Hangal is regarded as BJP bastion since its veteran leader late C.M. Udasi had represented it for a long time. The constituency falls in the Chief Minister’s home district of Haveri.
Though the party high command ensured smooth transfer of power from veteran leader B.S. Yediyurappa to Mr. Bommai, the Hangal defeat has given raise to speculation that it could be an indication of resistance by the supporters of the erstwhile regime within the party to the new one.
