Bengaluru: While the by-election fever is gripping the state, in the BJP circles, on the other hand, discussions have begun regarding who would be the next CM. Consequently, this has led to clashes between the leaders.  

Former minister V. Somanna, during the by-polls campaign of the Bellary Lok Sabha constituency, had announced that Sreeramulu will be the next chief minister if the BJP comes to power in the state. Expressing displeasure over this, BJP state president Yeddyurappa said, "I do not know the details about the next CM. Ask this to Somanna only."

Shobha hits back: There is no truth in Somanna's 'next Chief Minister Sreeramulu' statement. Somanna is giving statements as per his wish. But Yeddyurappa is our leader. Even the party high command trusts him."

Speaking after visiting the Tontadarya Math in the wake of the demise of Dr. Siddalinga Mahaswamy of Tontadarya Math, Yeddyurappa said that he does not know who will become the next Chief Minister. He refused to comment on Somanna's statement by saying you should ask him only.
