Amid rising political tensions in Karnataka, BJP President B Y Vijayendra has asserted that a change in leadership within the ruling Congress is on the horizon due to escalating internal conflicts. Vijayendra believes that the mounting power struggle has reached a crescendo, suggesting an impending shift in the state's political landscape.

Vijayendra expressed optimism regarding the BJP's prospects in the upcoming by-polls for Bagalkot and Davangere South Assembly constituencies, attributing this confidence to strong anti-incumbency sentiments against the Congress government. He cited public dissatisfaction, particularly among poorer communities and farmers, as a key factor in these elections.

The BJP has announced candidacies for Veerabhadrayya Charantimath in Bagalkot and Srinivas T Dasakariyappa in Davangere South, following the passing of Congress MLAs H Y Meti and Shamanur Shivashankarappa. The upcoming by-elections are seen as a critical test of the Congress's standing amid this turbulent political climate.
