BSY Appoints Srinivasa Prasad As Vice President of Karnataka BJP

Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP president BS Yeddyurappa (BSY) appointed former Karnataka state minister Srinivasa Prasad as vice president of Karnataka BJP party unit amid a crisis within the party circles. According to the sources, the decision to appoint Prasad as new state BJP vice president came after criticism that the dalit community isn’t properly represented in Karnataka BJP unit.

In the appointment order issued, the issue order is dated April 26 and there is no clear idea why BSY kept the new appointment as a secret. The BJP state leaders are also clueless on the matter even if they don’t have any objection to the new appointment.
