BJP Grapples with Internal Dissension as Sadananda Gowda Considers Options

The BJP finds itself embroiled in a quandary beyond Eshwarappa’s rebellion, as discontent simmers among several disappointed ticket aspirants across various Lok Sabha constituencies. Former Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda’s public expression of dismay over being denied a party ticket underscores the depth of internal strife. Gowda’s revelation that Congress leaders have reached out to him further complicates the party’s predicament, as he contemplates his next move. In Chikkodi, speculations abound regarding potential Congress overtures to BJP aspirant Ramesh Katti, despite his denial.

Meanwhile, Haveri witnessed a public spat among local BJP leaders, indicating simmering tensions within the party’s ranks. With constituencies like Bidar, Tumakuru, Mysuru-Kodagu, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru, and Koppal also experiencing disgruntlement among ticket hopefuls, the BJP faces a precarious situation that demands swift resolution to avert potential ramifications.
