With numerous national heavyweights travelling to Karnataka over the next two weeks, the Bharatiya Janata Party has stepped up its campaigning for the impending Assembly elections in the state. Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, will visit the Gowda stronghold of Mandya and address a public gathering there as well as in Vijayapura.
For the 2019 Karnataka elections, this is the UP CM’s first visit. The BJP believes that Yogi might assist the party in stealing a substantial portion of Vokkaliga votes away from the JDS and Congress. This is due to the Vokkaliga community’s faction supporting the Karnataka BJP at the time Yogi was elected chief executive officer’s claim that their Mutt is also a Nath Panth hub.
