Bengaluru: Even as the BJP top leaders have made it clear that Lingayat strongman and former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa will be the next Chief Minister of Karnataka if the BJP comes to power at the state, a recent development has left the BJP men perplexed.
Over the last one week, hashtags like-  #Jananayaka, #Chakravarthyfor_CM are making rounds and this has created ripples in the BJP as well as Sangh Parivar corridors as these hashtags clearly state that NaMo Brigade founder and Orator Chakravarthy Sulibele is being promoted as the next CM candidate by some unknown quarters.

Even though a Facebook page in the name ‘Chakravarthi Sulibele for Karnataka CM’ has been active since one year, it has managed to garner only about 18,000 likes. However, the new hashtags are creating a buzz especially when Sulibele, the blue-eyed boy of the RSS is touring the state creating awareness on PM Modi’s demonetisation move. Many in the political circle are now perceiving the state-wide tour as a sort of propaganda with hidden agenda.

As per sources in the BJP and the RSS, it was only since last one week that Sulibele’s name has been making rounds as potential CM candidate for 2018 Assembly polls. “The BJP state leaders are confused over the new development. Mysuru MP Pratap Simha who is considered to be close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also touring with Chakravarthy Sulibele. Everything is confusing right now,” said a senior BJP leader on conditions of anonymity adding that the new development has left B S Yeddyurappa and his close aide Shobha Karandalaje uncomfortable.

As per sources, the two are suspecting role of some insider in the campaign and the fact that Prathap Simha is touring along withe Sulibele too has raged BSY and his supporters.

Prathap Simha’s closeness to BSY had brought the prior the post of BJP State Youth Wing Chief. The outcome of the new friendship between Simha and Sulibele is only to be waited and watched for.

The drift in the BJP house was out in open recently. However, even before the dust could settle down, it looks like BSY is now going to run into another trouble and this time it may be with the RSS itself because Sulibele is the RSS poster boy.

Only time will tell, if the seasoned political acumen of BSY, who took on his shoulders the responsibility of building the BJP in Karnataka will win or young orator Sulibele who strove for awakening of people through his talks would rise to power.
