The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has provided Z category CRPF security cover to BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa. The security will be provided only in Karnataka. The CRPF will soon take charge of security.
The decision to provide Central security protection to Yediyurappa is based on an Intelligence Bureau threat assessment report that has been communicated to the MHA.
Yediyurappa is perceived to be at risk from extremist factions within Karnataka. To ensure his safety within the state and during his travels across Karnataka, CRPF commandos will be responsible for his security.
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.
