Amit Shah In Karnataka Amid Leader Change Buzz
The political significance was lost on few - visit by Amit Shah is the first by one of the top BJP leaders since senior BJP leader KS Eshwarappa was sacked by the top brass for his alleged abetment to suicide of a contractor. It comes at a time when there is buzz that Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, a Lingayat, could be replaced. In a cryptic comment, senior leader BL Santosh said that change is imminent in the party. However, the Chief Minister's mentor and predecessor, BS Yediyurappa, gave him a clean chit today.
