Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and senior BJP leader B S Yeddyurappa has been accorded Z category security by the Union Home Ministry.
The ‘Z category’ security will be available for BSY only within Karnataka. Sources said that the CRPF will soon take over the security arrangements.
According to an ANI report, The Central security cover for Yediyurappa is based on an Intelligence Bureau threat perception report shared with the MHA. As per sources, Yediyurappa is in danger from radical groups in Karnataka.
The CRPF commandos will provide security to the veteran BJP leader during his stay in Karnataka and his movement across the state.
The MHA’s order to provide Z category security to Yediyurappa was sent to the CRPF days after the former Chief Minister recently announced that he along with other state BJP leaders will soon begin a state-wide tour aimed at highlighting “failures” of the Congress government, and to strengthen his party ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Bookanakere Siddalingappa Yediyurappa, popularly known as BSY, has been a prominent figure in Karnataka politics for nearly five decades and is known for his leadership of the Lingayat community, which is considered to be one of the most significant vote banks in the state.
