Bengaluru: Basavaraj Bommai took a deep plunge into politics under his father late S.R. Bommai’s tutelage. Somappa Rayappa Bommai was the Chief Minister from 1988-1989 and is immortal in the law books after the Supreme Court gave a landmark judgement disapproving the way he was removed as CM.
The senior Bommai along with Ramakrishna Hegde, J.H. Patel and H.D. Deve Gowda was instrumental in the Janata Party forming a Government for the first time under Ramakrishna Hegde.
