Reacting to the party's decision of appointing Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan as the BJP's Incharge and Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai as the Co-Incharge for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Elections 2023, Yediyurappa said, Annamalai is capable and Dharmendra Pradhan is a very senior leader. He also said It will be helpful for our party to win the elections.

The BJP appointed Dharmendra Pradhan as the BJP's Incharge and K Annamalai as the co-Incharge for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Elections 2023. 

The Karnataka Legislative Assembly election is due before May 2023 and the Election Commission will notify elections for all 224 members of the state Legislative Assembly in the coming months.

The Assembly elections were last held in Karnataka in May 2018. In the election, Janata Dal (Secular) and Indian National Congress (INC) received a thumping victory. JD(S) leader D Kumaraswamy was made the Chief Minister of Karnataka after the elections in 2018. However, the coalition government collapsed in July 2019 and the BJP formed a government. The party appointed BS Yediyurappa as the CM. Later, Yediyurappa resigned in 2021 and paved way for Basavaraj Bommai to become the CM of the state.
