New Karnataka CM will be from Lingayat community: Sources
Sources said that some names have been shortlisted by the central leadership considering caste equation in the state. "Caste plays an important factor in Karnataka politics and selection of new chief minister will be done considering social equations of the state. Party is also considering whether the new chief minister will be from the strong Lingayat community or from some other community," sources said.
Sources, however, claimed that replacing a Lingayat strongman Yediyurappa with a non Lingayat will be a major challenge for the BJP.
