The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) central leadership is set to consider a major revamp of its Karnataka unit after the upcoming Delhi elections, as internal factional struggles continue to pose challenges for the party’s state operations.
According to party insiders, the leadership is keen on addressing the growing dissent and internal power struggles within the Karnataka unit, which have impacted organizational cohesion and electoral performance. The reshuffle is expected to focus on streamlining leadership roles, strengthening grassroots connections, and ensuring a more unified approach ahead of key political challenges.
The Karnataka BJP has been grappling with factionalism between various camps, including those loyal to former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and others pushing for generational change within the party. The central leadership is reportedly considering a balance between experienced leaders and emerging faces to steer the party towards a more stable and effective strategy in the state.
While the focus remains on the upcoming elections in Delhi, where the party is engaged in a high-stakes battle, Karnataka’s leadership overhaul will likely be a priority once the polls conclude. The move is seen as crucial for BJP’s prospects in the southern state, where it faces stiff competition from the Congress and regional parties.
Party sources suggest that the revamp could include changes in key leadership positions, restructuring at the grassroots level, and a renewed focus on outreach strategies to consolidate the party’s support base ahead of the 2028 state assembly elections.
