BENGALURU: Senior BJP chief B S Yediyurappa on Friday dominated out his son B Y Vijayendra being fielded from Varuna constituency to tackle Congress chief Siddaramaiah and stated he would battle the election from Shikaripura. Addressing reporters, he stated, “There is already pressure to field Vijayendra from Varuna, but I have said it long back though there is pressure from Varuna, he should contest from Shikaripura. So, there is no question of Vijayendra contesting from Varuna for whatsoever reason.”
Yediyurappa added that Vijayendra will battle from “my constituency” (Shikaripura in Shivamogga district), so there is no such thing as a query of asking him to contest from Varuna.
To a query on Vijayendra’s assertion that the BJP has received its personal power and he would abide by the social gathering’s resolution, Yediyurappa stated, “His statement is correct but I am saying that he will contest from Shikaripura. I will convey this to the party high command and Vijayendra. There is no question of him contesting from Varuna in Mysuru.”
Yediyurappa is sitting MLA from Shikaripura, and has already introduced his retirement from electoral politics.
Assembly elections can be held in Karnataka on May 10.
Yediyurappa had on Thursday raised expectations of a high-voltage battle between Vijayendra and Siddaramaiah by not ruling out the opportunity of his son throwing his hat within the ring in Varuna.
Varuna in Mysuru district has develop into among the many key seats to be careful for as Siddaramaiah, the Congress legislature social gathering chief and former Chief Minister, is about to enter the fray on this section, at the moment represented his son Yathindra.
