Lobbying in BJP for Deputy Chairman’s post in Upper House

Bharatiya Janata Party Upper House Karnataka Legislative Council

With election to the post of Deputy Chairman of Karnataka Legislative Council scheduled to be held this legislature session starting from Monday, the BJP is witnessing lobbying from its senior members for the post.

The BJP member from Chikkamagaluru Local Authorities constituency M.K. Pranesh had been elected as the Deputy Chairman in January 2021 with the help of Janata Dal (Secular) in an arrangement between BJP and JD(S) after the death of JD(S) member and the then Deputy Chairman S.L. Dharme Gowda. As per the arrangement, the Chairman’s post went to JD(S) member Basavaraj Horatti.

However, the election to the post has been necessitated since Mr. Pranesh retired on January 5 after completing his term. Though he has been re-elected, the election to the post of Deputy Chairman has to be held since he took oath as the member again, ceasing to be the Deputy Chairman, sources said.
