Basavraj Bommai expresses confidence, says Lingayat community welcomed our decision on reservation

Описание: Having fielded 62 of its candidates from the influential Lingayat community, BJP poll managers in Karnataka are set to focus on how the party has reciprocated the community's consistent support while pointing to the 'neglect' by principal opposition Congress, which has not elevated any Lingayat leader to the CM's chair since the removal of Veerendra Patil in 1990 after he suffered a paralytic stroke. BJP's Lingayat candidates include chief minister Basavraj Bommai and BY Vijayendra, younger son of former CM BS Yediyurappa, seen as the community's tallest leader.
