Senior Congress leader M B Patil on Thursday accused the BJP of using veteran leader B S Yediyurappa for its 'survival,' by appointing him to its highest decision-making body, just ahead of Karnataka assembly polls 2023, and challenged the saffron party to name him as its Chief Minister face instead. Noting that Yediyurappa was forced to step down as the Chief Minister citing his age as the reason, the state Congress' campaign committee chairman, who is also considered as the party's Lingayat face, questioned as to whether his age is not a factor, when he is now inducted into the BJP's Parliamentary Board and Central Election Committee.
