Despite the BJP’s stronghold in Belgaum, the Congress party’s strongest leaders Satish Jarakiholi and Lakshmi Hebbalkar regarded the election as a prestige. As a result, the BJP has become a hotbed of iron ore. There is a huge wave of aspirants in the BJP. But the party leaders are sure to cast a surprise candidate as far as they have run. It is in this backdrop that Yeddyurappa’s visit is of great importance. Chief Minister Yeddyurappa will be touring North Karnataka for three days from January 9, as the by-election dates for the three constituencies in the state can be announced.

It is said that from the 9th to the 11th, there are various development efforts to visit Raichur, Bidar, and Belgaum. The Central Election Commission is likely to announce the election date for the by-election for the Muskie, Basavakarna, and Belgaum sectors. Earlier, the commission said it would announce the by-elections for the three constituencies in Karnataka after the Bihar assembly elections. Now the Gram polls are over in the state, the date for the by-election of these three constituencies will be announced.

Aware of this, BSY will launch various development initiatives in these three areas. The BJP is feeling that it has won the Gram polls and it is a huge tactic to show that the mandate is in favor of winning in all three of these constituencies. The CM has resorted to winning three constituencies because no one has ever heard of them. This is why he is visiting Uttarakarnataka this time. CM Yeddyurappa’s arrival in Belgaum, surely has got a piece of good news for the BJP forces.
