BJP president JP Nadda today appointed Karnataka Chief Minister (CM) Basavaraj Bommai as the chairman of the election campaign committee for the upcoming Assembly elections in Karnataka.

Union Ministers Shobha Karandlaje and Bhagvanta Kubha will be the convener and co-convenor of the election management committee respectively. The party has tried to strike a balance between two dominant castes by appointing Bommai a Lingayat as head of one committee and Karandlaje a Vokkaliga as convener of the other panel.

Besides them, former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has been appointed as a member of the campaign committee and the campaign committee will also have Minister Pralhad Joshi, A Narayanaswamy, party's state unit president Nalin Kateel, former central minister DV Sadananda Gowda, former state minister Eshwrappa, and former CM Jagdish Shettar etc. Former CM Yeddiyurappa's son BY Vijayendra who is the state vice president is also part of this committee. The announcement by BJP came within weeks of the Assembly elections in the State, where the ruling BJP will be locked in a fierce political battle with the grand old party, Congress.
