The exit of former Chief Minister of Karnataka B.S. Yeddyurappa from that post last year may not have been as dramatic as it was in 2011, but the central BJP is still worried over the impact on the ground and has formed three committees, headed by national general secretary Arun Singh, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Bommai and State unit president Nalin Kateel respectively, for that purpose. In fact, Mr .Yeddyurappa has been roped in to help in the task of the team that will be working with Mr Kateel.
Polls in Karnataka are due in 2023, and the Congress is also active on the ground. After Mr. Bommai's visit to Delhi, speculation over a reshuffle grew rife and an advisory from the national leadership to improve governance was issued by the top leadership, following which these teams were constituted.
