India TV News  

Karnataka election 2023: Former Karnataka chief minister and senior BJP leader BS Yediyurappa on Friday ruled out speculation that his son BY Vijayendra will be fielded from Varuna constituency. Addressing reporters, he said, “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 fight from "my constituency", so there is no question of asking him to contest from Varuna. Yediyurappa had on Thursday raised expectations of a high-voltage fight between Vijayendra and Siddaramaiah by not ruling out the possibility of his son throwing his hat in the ring in Varuna.
