BENGALURU: Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa has been fighting not just the covid -19 outbreak but also trying to contain a crisis among his cabinet colleagues, party, while managing the state economy, people aware of the development said.
The crisis within the government has been severe especially with some cabinet ministers putting politics above efforts to contain the outbreak in the state, they said.
Karnataka has so far reported 226 cases of covid-19, with death toll at six. But the 77-year-old chief minister has failed to capitalise on the fact that his government has brought down Karnataka's position from third place across the country to the 11th in terms of the number of positive cases.
