Mr Ravi's supporters had protested over former Chief Minister and BJP leader BS Yediyurappa's decision to step aside for his son BY Vijayendra to contest the election. His direct attacks on the Congress over issues considered sensitive such as the hijab ban and the controversy over calling halal meat "economic jihad" received support from his party colleagues and well-wishers. Mr Ravi was among those who claimed that Tipu Sultan, the 18th century ruler of Mysuru, was killed by two Vokkaliga chieftains - Uri Gowda and Nanje Gowda - and not by the British and the Maratha army. He had been spearheading BJP's campaign in Karnataka. The Karnataka leader's gravitas in the BJP's central leadership is proven by the roles he has been assigned - he is also the BJP in-charge of Goa, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. He had risen through the ranks to become the party's national general secretary. Mr Ravi is one of the prominent faces of the BJP in Karnataka.
